Hi all,

As you may have seen on other lists, we're looking for a postdoc computational literary studies. The postdoc position is part of the project ‘ImpFic: The Impact of Fiction’. 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.

The position is for 3 years at Huygens ING (Amsterdam) and is a collaboration with the Netherlands eScience Center. More details at:
