Fwd: Job: Chancellor's Fellow in Text and Data Mining, Edinburgh
by TERRAS Melissa 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Dear Colleagues, We're very pleased to be hiring a tenure track post at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer equivalent in text and data mining in History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, working with the Edinburgh Futures Institute. International applications are welcomed. See more here: https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1… Please do share this opportunity with anyone who you think may be interested. Best wishes, Melissa Job Description UE08 £42,149 - £50,296 College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science/School of History, Classics and Archaeology and Edinburgh Future Institutes/ Archaeology Full time, 35 hours per week 5 year tenure track contract CHANCELLOR’S FELLOWSHIP 5 year tenure track Grade 8 appointments. Exceptionally, an appointment at Grade 9 might be made. Applications are sought for a Chancellor’s Fellowship in Text and Data Mining. This will be a joint appointment in the Edinburgh Futures Institute and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, and will make a major contribution to the University’s Data Driven Innovation programme, in the areas of research, teaching and impact. Context The Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) is a global centre for multi-disciplinary, challenge-based Data Driven Innovation (DDI) research, teaching and engagement. Its distinctiveness stems from an approach which combines multi-disciplinarity with co-production – working with industry, governments and communities (at home and abroad) to build a portfolio of activity that has demonstrable ethical, social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts. This approach recognises that almost all of the biggest challenges facing societies globally, such as climate volatility, political discontent, economic upheaval and technological change are complex and multi-level in orientation. EFI seeks to address these challenges with insight and innovation developed from bringing the arts, humanities and the social sciences together with data science, engineering, the natural sciences and medicine. EFI has responsibility for delivering six major programmes linked to the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal: a multi-million pound investment by the UK and Scottish Government, aiming to attract inward investment, support skills development and entrepreneurship, with the aim of securing economic prosperity for all. The focus of EFI’s programmes are: creative industries; tourism and festivals; financial services (including fintech); public services; the ethics of data and artificial intelligence; and future infrastructure. The Institute is appointing a cohort of Chancellor’s Fellows over 2020/21 and 2021/22 to help drive research and innovation and support the development and delivery of its portfolio of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. To support cross-University collaboration, each of these posts will be located in one of the University’s 21 Schools. The School of History, Classics and Archaeology is part of the College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. It is co-located in a completely refurbished 'A' listed building designed by the distinguished Scottish architect, Sir Robert Rowand Anderson in the nineteenth century, with state of the art facilities for staff and students. The School combines the expertise of the departments of History, Classics and Archaeology along with the Centre for the Study of Modern and Contemporary History, the Edinburgh Centre for Global History and the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Though each department has its own areas of special concern, there are many activities and interests in common and important synergies between disciplines. There is a full programme of seminars and conferences, and close links are also maintained with subjects in other Schools. We are one of the largest, most distinguished and most highly ranked centres for the study of the human past in Europe, with over 140 teaching, research and administrative staff. Teaching is provided to around 1500 undergraduate and over 300 postgraduate students drawn from some 40 countries. Around 600 of our students are from outside the UK, reflecting the School's high international reputation. The Opportunity To support the next generation of academic research and innovation leaders in interdisciplinary thinking and data sciences and drive the outcomes of the City Deal, EFI appointed 5 new Chancellor’s Fellows in Data Driven Innovation in 2018. To complement this, a further 5 Chancellor’s Fellows are to be recruited in strategic themes for EFI in 2020/21 and 2021/22. These prestigious awards are aimed at early career individuals of the highest potential and attainment who have begun to establish a reputation for the outstanding research at the forefront of their discipline and who have a commitment to learning and teaching at university level. Candidates already holding an externally-funded Fellowship are welcome to transfer this to Edinburgh if the sponsor permits. International candidates are welcome and will be supported through the process of visa application if required. The present post, held jointly between the Edinburgh Futures Institute and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, will focus on data mining in relation to history and archaeology, expanding the thematic area within HCA and providing doctoral supervision within the School, teaching and supervising on EFI Masters programmes and courses, and helping to develop interdisciplinary, industry and public sector links across both EFI and HCA.. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will contribute to the development of the Data Driven Initiative, with the aim of creating new and socially beneficial partnerships. The Data Driven Initiative is part of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal: https://www.ed.ac.uk/local/city-region-deal/about-data-driven-innovation The research and expertise of the candidate may also contribute to the developing research theme in the Cultural and Creative Economies. This theme involves work in gaming, music, the visual arts, film, and graphic design. The theme also includes areas such as tourism, festivals, the exploration of the cultural heritage of Scotland and other countries. Chancellor’s Fellows Scheme The details of the scheme are as follows: * Five year full-time tenure-track appointment * These fellowships are intended to support candidates at the start of their independent academic careers. Subject to satisfactory review at the end of year 3, the post holder will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract. * A remit to interdisciplinarity, notably engagement with others across the Data Driven Innovation (DDI) Programme and elsewhere with a focus on data-enabled research of the highest quality * International or UK recruits * During the first two years of the appointment, the role will focus more on research than teaching (current expectations are, approximately, 60% research, 30% teaching, 10% citizenship activities). Thereafter the post holder will progressively move towards the normal balance of teaching, research and administration for an academic role so that by the end of the five-year period they will have a normal academic balance of duties (that is, 40% research, 40% teaching, 20% citizenship activities). * The assessment at 3 years will assess all academic capabilities (research, teaching, innovation, engagement with external stakeholders, leadership) * The post holder will be given substantial mentoring and development support through and beyond the Fellowship to help them gain grants, fellowships and industry engagement funding Your skills and attributes for success: * A strong commitment to engagement with industry/public sector/third sector and to translation of research * An establishing/established reputation for the highest quality research and innovation at the forefront of the discipline(s), including attracting external funding, and publishing high quality research that is creating impact * A commitment to high quality, innovative and creative teaching, including project-led and hybrid approaches * Expertise in analysing both material and textual sources through manual and automated text and data mining tools * Ambitious plans for interdisciplinary grant applications, leading collaborative and applied research within the expanding field of text and data mining As a valued member of our team you can expect: An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work.

PhD position (or Postdoc) in Computational Literary Studies at University of Stuttgart
by Jonas Kuhn 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

The Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS) at University of Stuttgart has an opening for a doctoral researcher (or a postdoc) in the context of project CAUTION [1] to work on the operationalization of concepts from the field of narratology and on tools for computer-aided analysis of a corpus of literary texts. CAUTION is a collaboration between literary studies and computational linguistics, headed by Janina Jacke (University of Göttingen) and Jonas Kuhn (University of Stuttgart) [2], which addresses the phenomenon of unreliable narration in fiction. The project aims to advance the representational means for capturing this phenomenon, to devise a framework for intersubjectively stable annotation in texts, and to develop computational tools for automatically detecting signals for unreliable narration in a corpus. The project is funded by DFG (the German Research Foundation) and is associated with the Priority Programme SPP 2207 Computational Literary Studies. The successful candidate will work (i) on the detection of text properties signaling unreliable narration using data-driven techniques from natural language processing (NLP) and (ii) on capturing systematically what reasoning leads a reader to consider the narrator of a story to be unreliable, using a symbolic knowledge representation & reasoning framework. Specifically, the project explores how the interaction between story-internal knowledge and background knowledge from various sources can be formalized in a belief-desire-intention model for intelligent agents and how such a formalization can be integrated with the practice of text annotation. An important element of the project will be a close exchange between theoretical research in literary studies and research on algorithmic modeling techniques. The candidate must have a Master's degree in computational linguistics, computer science, digital humanities, or similar. Familiarity with the data-driven modeling paradigm in current NLP research, programming skills and experience in running and evaluating corpus-based modeling experiments are a prerequisite. A reading knowledge of German is desirable, since we work on a corpus of German texts. Some background in digital humanities on the one hand, and in knowledge representation & reasoning, declarative programming (e.g. Prolog) and/or multi-agent systems on the other hand would be a plus. IMS Stuttgart offers an inspiring environment for interdisciplinary work on algorithmic text analysis in a range of research contexts; several groups work on digital humanities and computational social science projects. The position will be available for three years, starting in November 2021. All applications received until October 5, 2021 will receive full consideration, but the position will remain open until filled. Do not hesitate to get in touch when you find this opening after October 5. The salary for a doctoral researcher working on the CAUTION project is according to the German university payscale (TV-L 13 65%, see [3] for details). By contributing to teaching at the department, the 65% contract can be increased to 100% TV-L 13, which can make the project position attractive to postdoctoral researchers with the relevant qualifications. To apply, please send a CV and letter of motivation in a single PDF document to Jonas Kuhn, jonas.kuhn at ims.uni-stuttgart.de <http://ims.uni-stuttgart.de/>. Please include names of 2-3 individuals willing to write a letter of recommendation. For inquiries regarding the position, please also contact Jonas Kuhn. The University of Stuttgart aims at increasing the number of women in academia. Therefore, women are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications of severely disabled candidates with equivalent qualifications will be given priority. Information according to article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for job application processes at University of Stuttgart can be found here: https://www.zendas.de/zendas/informationen_bewerbung.html <https://www.zendas.de/zendas/informationen_bewerbung.html> and https://www.uni-stuttgart.de/en/privacy-notice/job-application/ <https://www.uni-stuttgart.de/en/privacy-notice/job-application/>.

Community Open Principles: Before, During and After the Global Pandemic (Jun 30, 2021)
by Francesca Giovannetti 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

The Force11 Working Group Reimagining Educational Practices for Open (REPO) will be hosting its second webinar on Jun 30, 2021 at 13:00 UTC <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2021&month=…> . *Community Open Principles: Before, During and After the Global Pandemic* Dr. Ana Persic, UNESCO, Dr. Arianna Becerril García, AmeliCA, Dr. Johanna Havemann, Open Science MOOC, Osman Aldirdiri, AfricArXiv When we talk about Open (Open Science, Open Data, Open Access) what do we mean? How can we navigate the different definitions of what it means to be a community and to be Open? How do we engage with communities and train members around Open? What evidence are we using of how we are addressing Open? How can we be more inclusive and align our Open principles to foster norms, incentives, and recognition? Have our understandings around Open shifted during the pandemic? This online webinar will address these questions via the experiences of invited open science communities, how they have designed and applied their open (science) principles before and during the pandemic, particularly with regard to outreach and training, while also looking out at the horizon, at a future beyond the pandemic. The webinar aims to include open (science) perspectives from a diverse group of communities, learn from their approaches, how they have evolved, and identify possible next steps that all, in our global community can consider.
