UC Merced seeks to appoint two post-doctoral scholars to participate in the Center for the Humanities academic program for 2013-15. Post-doctoral scholars should do work relating to the theme that falls in the areas of Digital Humanities or Public Humanities. During their two-year appointment, they will continue their research program; participate in the Center for the Humanities seminar, offering a paper at least once during that time; give one public presentation in an off-campus location; and work with faculty to plan the final conference of the period. It is expected that fellows will have the opportunity to teach one course each year in an area of their research. Upon final determination of course offerings, the Post-Doctoral appointment would be reduced to allow for a teaching appointment. We anticipate this position will be 83% Post-doctoral scholar and 17% Lecturer title; the combination of both appointments will not exceed 100%.

Candidates should have received their Ph.D. between 2009 and 2013.
