Hi all,

An entry-level job that might be of interest to members of this list, deadline for applications March 17, 2014.

I have spoken to the chair and am told that an interest in DH and/or Medieval Studies would be welcome. The core requirements are skill/experience in teaching second language learners, especially at the junior level, and demonstrable interest in and ability to teach French Phonology/Phonetics. Beyond that the research expertise is open.

Canadian residents must be given preference according to the law, though international candidates will be considered. The ad says that "there will be internal candidates for the position," but I have just spoken to the chair and she tells me that that language was inserted by mistake by Human Resources after proofing and will be removed ASAP (the ad just went up at the end of the business day). She assures me that this is very much an open search and that all qualified applicants, including international candidates, will be considered seriously.

For my own part, let me add that candidates with a background in DH will find the University of Lethbridge to be very active in the field. We are in the process of approving research centres in the Digital Arts and Humanities and Digital Scholarly Communication and the University of Lethbridge is host to both Digital Medievalist and GlobaloutlookDH.org. I would certainly look forward to working with a successful candidate with Digital Humanities experience. I should stress, however, that I have no influence on the search.
