> Five international postdoctoral positions in the digital humanities are now
> available at HUMlab, Umea University, Sweden from September 1, 2009 or
> January 15, 2010. The call is open, but 1-3 positions may be allocated to
> the areas of "religion and the digital", "digital journalism", "architecture
> and the digital", "next generation digital humanities tools" and/or
> "visualization in the digital humanities".
> 
> HUMlab is an internationally recognized center for the humanities and
> information technology. Much of the work takes place in a 5,300 square feet
> studio space at the center of the university and in different kinds of
> digital and hybrid environments. A new part of the lab was inaugurated on
> May 14, 2009. This video shows the new space the day before the event:
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2oUm3p-yJk. For archived seminars (which use
> the other part of the lab) please see http://stream.humlab.umu.se/. By the
> end of 2011, a new HUMlab-X on the Creative Campus (a 10-minute walk from
> the main campus) will be in place.  
> 
> HUMlab is based on a double (or triple) affiliation model where much of the
> work is done in close collaboration with the humanities (or other)
> departments. HUMlab offers an open, friendly, creative and intellectually
> rich milieu for doing work in the humanities and information technology.
> 
> The fellowships are for one year. Another year may be possible based on a
> review as well as the availability of funding. Collaboration is a central
> part of the ethos of HUMlab and among our strategic partners are
> Kulturverket (local award-winning culture organization), Lund University
> (the Humanities Laboratory), King's College London (Centre for Computing in
> the Humanities) and the University of California (UC Humanities Research
> Institute).
> 
> Applicants will be expected to have a Ph.D. in a humanities discipline. In
> exceptional cases, other areas and backgrounds can be of interest as well.
> Applications should include a description of an envisioned postdoctoral
> year-long project.
> 
> Please see http://blog.humlab.umu.se/postdocs for more information.
> Applications should be submitted electronically by June 18, 2009. We look
> forward to receiving your application.
