Hi all,

For the project ‘Impact and Fiction’ we are looking for a postdoc in literary studies (knowledge of Dutch required). Within this project we investigate the impact fiction can have on readers. We use a large corpus of electronically available Dutch-language (original and translated) novels and a large collection of online book reviews. The aim of the project is to translate concepts of literary theory about how literature works into a computational form suitable for computational analysis of books and book reviews.

For the job description and a link to the application form see https://www.academictransfer.com/en/316429/a-postdoc-literary-studies-huygens-institute-amsterdam/. Deadline September 15.

Please distribute widely!

Thanks for reading,

Peter
