Dan,
The Academic Job Wiki and MLA job list from last year (2012-2013) will have many examples. Last year was the sweet spot for jobs combining DH and poco. There was a UNC Charlotte job and a UConn job, plus a slew asking for DH as a secondary specialty.
All best, Roopika

Hi all,
We may be about to receive permission to hire a tenure track, junior position in Post Colonial literature focussing on Anglophone literature (we need to wait for a budget to come down, next Thursday). There is a slight chance it might be a different discipline, but the betting is on PoCo.
I've been looking around for example ads, especially those that might include a digital component. A quick search is not showing many that mention DH explicitly. Does anybody know of examples with DH and PostColonial?
If the job is allowed, BTW, we should know by the end of next week. It will be a 2:2 teaching load (reduced, probably to 1:2 in the first year), with start up research funds (I am told recently in the range of $10k-15k, though it is entirely subject to negotiation and budget conditions), and a great institutional interest in both graduate studies and DH. The position will be emphatically about Anglophone literature, I suspect (we are very short handed at the moment) and people will be expected to be able to teach other general courses in English literature (surveys, genres, first year, that type of thing). The University of Lethbridge doesn't really teach remedial composition and what composition is taught is not taught in English. So all your teaching would be literary/domain-specific.
Independently of this position, we are in the process of putting together a major University-wide incubator programme that will have a heavy DH component, including what looks like a new knowledge Mobilisation or Maker's lab. An appropriate person would be welcome to participate in this.
I'll know more next week and it is always possible it may fall through. But in the meantime if you know of good ads we could model ours on, I'd appreciate the tip!
