19 September 2023
Southampton, UK
Full-Time
The School of Humanities at the University of Southampton encompasses a diverse range of subjects providing high-quality teaching within a vibrant research and enterprise culture. Southampton Digital Humanities contribute to that environment by enabling staff and students across the School of Humanities to take digital and computational approaches to the humanities teaching, research, and enterprise.
You will play a central role in the successful delivery of the Southampton Digital Preservation Advisory Unit, a new flagship enterprise project hosted and supported by Southampton Digital Humanities. You will plan enterprise activities, develop an area of specialism, contribute to income generation, and provide outstanding services to clients and partners.
You will have knowledge and understanding of digital preservation or digitisation in a cultural heritage context, with a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications or experience in a related subject area.
You will join a team of dedicated educators and researchers supported by recent investment in Digital Humanities expertise, estate, and resources. Notable among these is our Digital Humanities Hub, an infrastructure that supports study and research, is a hub for expertise and critique, and provides access to technologies that enable us to scan, manipulate, and preserve heritage objects, make and explore virtual worlds, compute text and multimedia, sonify pictures, immerse ourselves in data visualisations, and much more.
