Vacancy: Post-doctoral researcher in digital humanities (36 months, University of Helsinki, Finland)
by Hiippala, Tuomo J 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

Dear all, I'm looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher in digital humanities for my upcoming ERC-funded project: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/multimodality/a-foundation-for-em… The project develops novel methods and resources for studying multimodality, or how human communication naturally combines multiple 'modes' of expression. These methods and resources are used to develop empirically founded theories of multimodal communication in the domain of everyday cultural artefacts. The data studied in the project includes, for example, school textbooks, user-generated explanation videos on social media, news broadcasts, instruction manuals and online newspapers. This is a fixed-term position for 36 months, starting in September 2024 or as agreed, based in the Department of Languages at the University of Helsinki, Finland. RESPONSIBILITIES: The post-doctoral researcher is responsible for developing structured, machine-readable representations of multimodality for the page-based and audiovisual media studied in the project. As the descriptions of multimodality are collected using crowdsourcing, the post-doctoral researcher is also expected to participate in designing and implementing crowdsourcing pipelines. QUALIFICATIONS: The appointee must hold a doctoral degree in digital humanities, humanities computing, computer science or a related field, and have a keen interest in multimodality. Previous experience of developing structured representations for diverse forms of data is essential. Previous experience or interest in volunteer-based or paid crowdsourcing or citizen science is considered an asset. For more information, see the full announcement here: https://jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-Post-doctoral-researcher-in-digital-h… If you have any questions about the position, please contact tuomo.hiippala(a)helsinki.fi. Best, Tuomo Hiippala --- Dr. Tuomo Hiippala | Associate Professor in English Language and Digital Humanities Department of Languages | University of Helsinki, Finland | +358 50 377 33 66 http://www.helsinki.fi/~thiippal/ | https://www.helsinki.fi/multimodality

by Web and Publicity ESWC 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) is a key academic conference for research results and new developments in the area of the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graphs. ESWC 2024 marks the 21st edition, which will take place from May 26 – 30, 2024, in Heraklion, Greece. ESWC 2024 main scientific program features 3 main tracks (Research, Resource, In-Use), a special track on LLMs and Knowledge Representation, a poster and demo session, a PhD symposium, an industry track, nineteen workshops and tutorials (covering topics ranging from knowledge graph construction and natural language processing to robotics, ethics, linked data in construction and neurosymbolic techniques), and the following keynote speakers: • Elena Simperl (Professor, King’s College London, Director of research, Open Data Institute) • Peter Clark (Senior Research Director, Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence) • Katariina Karo (Lead Ontologist, Inter IKEA Systems B.V.) For full details and the list of accepted papers, see https://2024.eswc-conferences.org/accepted-papers/ Additionally, we would like to highlight the following: Call for Project Networking Session Profiles The project networking track of ESWC2022 will provide an opportunity to: • Share knowledge between research projects; • Transfer data and technology between projects; • Present and discuss project requirements and results with ESWC participants; • Discuss funding opportunities such as Horizon Europe and ERC. The project networking track is intended to provide research projects with the ability to connect with each other and engage in discussions about their respective research and development. It fosters opportunities for knowledge and technology sharing, and to identify complementary activities and goals. This can form the basis for future collaborations, research proposals, researcher exchange, or joint participation at events or initiatives. Who is invited? We equally welcome submissions from: (i) recently finished or about to finish projects, which have results to transfer/disseminate; (ii) ongoing projects: projects seeking methods, datasets and tools to perform their work and that would like to network and exchange know-how, expertise or info with other EU-funded projects; (iii) upcoming calls: discussion about upcoming calls to bring together potential proposals and consortium generation. What to expect from the network session? ESWC 2024 will offer you the opportunity to get to know researchers from different projects in a lightly organised setting. The network session chairs will match you with the most promising projects for you to talk to based on your profile during a series of ‘speed dates’. The Projects Networking Session will take place during ESWC 2024, in Hersonissos, Crete, during the main conference. The ESWC2024 program is being defined, come back soon for more detailed information on the exact date and time of the event. How to apply? Describe your project’s objective, what you would like to share with other projects and what you hope to find in other projects at: https://bit.ly/4bcdyRR This track will not be included in the proceedings, but your answers, with your consent, will be made available via the ESWC website to inform the community of the different projects in the session.

04 Mar '24

Dear colleagues, The call for applications for the 14th European Summer University in Digital Humanities. "Culture & Technology" (ESU DH C&T 2024) has started. ESU DH C&T is hosted by Babeș-Bolyai University Romania from 15 July to 26 July 2024. We welcome participants interested in attending ESU DH C&T to access the registration section here: https://esu-ct.conference.ubbcluj.ro/guidelines/ Applications for a place at the Summer University can be submitted between 5 March 2024 and 15 April 2024. The Summer University will last for 11 full days with an intensive programme consisting of workshops<https://esu-ct.conference.ubbcluj.ro/programme/>, teaser sessions, public lectures, project presentations, a poster session, and a panel discussion. Workshops that are offered consist of a total of 9/18 sessions or 18/36 week-hours with the number of participants in each workshop limited to 10. Workshop participants can opt for two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. Eligible participants can be students, doctoral students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and Engineering, and Computer Sciences as equal partners in an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus pave the way for future project-based co-operations. Participants are also invited to submit proposals for poster and project presentations. Babeș-Bolyai University offers opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and a space for scholars to showcase their know-how, bringing together like-minded people from within the University and – more importantly from abroad. In strengthening the community of practice already established by the University of Leipzig, Babeș-Bolyai University seeks to consolidate the network of high-profile specialists and scholars keen on integrating computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. The Summer University also offers a space for micro- and macro-skill building with the aim of discussing and acquiring new knowledge in applying computer technologies within the fields of Humanities and Cultural Sciences. Spanning from the integration of linguistics, publishing, libraries, archives to language teaching with the Digital Humanities, the contents covered during the summer school pose questions and deepen research in an interdisciplinary manner. For all relevant information please consult the site of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology”<https://esu-ct.conference.ubbcluj.ro/> which will be continually updated and integrated with more information. To get some insight into what you can expect from the European Summer University please consult the <https://esu-ct.conference.ubbcluj.ro/archive/> archive section<https://esu-ct.conference.ubbcluj.ro/archive/> on our website.
