Dear Matt,
this is a great DH initiative on Islamic textual culture! I'm grateful you shared this job ad otherwise I wouldn't know about it. However I was surprised in noticing that none of the colleagues composing your senior advisors group and the external advisory board come from an Arabic/Persian/Islamic organization or institution. Actually the entire board (15 scholars) is made of people coming from US and UK institutions. Is that a deliberate choice or is something you're working on?
All the best
Domenico

Dear all,
One of my co-PIs on the Open Islamicate Texts Initiative (OpenITI) http://iti-corpus.github.io/, Sarah Bowen Savant, recently received a large ERC grant for her research project on the history of the Arabic book. (In short, they are working with David Smith on using and modifying his text reuse algorithms to study Arabic book history.) See more on the KITAB project here http://kitab-project.org/.
As a part of the grant, they are hiring a technical lead/solutions manager. Job ad is here http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BHQ171/technical-lead-solutions-architect-digital-humanities-project/. I think they are looking for a DH specialist who has project management and (at least some) coding/development skills.
If you know of anyone who might be interested, please feel free to forward to them.
Best, Matt
