The School of Humanities at the University of Southampton are looking for a Lecturer in Digital Humanities to join our team of dedicated researchers and educators.

The School of Humanities at the University of Southampton encompasses a diverse range of subjects providing high-quality teaching within a vibrant research and enterprise culture. Southampton Digital Humanities contribute to that environment by enabling staff and students across the School of Humanities to take digital and computational approaches to the humanities teaching, research, and enterprise.

You will have a PhD or equivalent professional qualification, a developing research profile and teaching agenda in Digital Humanities, Digital Media, Digital Culture, and/or an aligned subject area. While we welcome applications from those working in any aspect of Digital Humanities, we are particularly interested in candidates whose work engages with computational, critical, and/or creative approaches, especially where that work intersects with the discipline/s of English, Film, Music, or Philosophy.

You will join a team of dedicated educators, researchers, and technicians supported by recent investment in Digital Humanities expertise, estate, and resources. Notable among these is our Digital Humanities Hub, an infrastructure that supports study, research, and enterprise, is a hub for expertise and critique, and provides access to technologies that enable us to capture, compute, and create in new ways.

A founding member of the prestigious Russell Group, the University of Southampton has a global reputation for its passion and ability to work collaboratively in delivering world-class education, research and innovation that makes a proven impact on society’s greatest challenges. We are a top 100 global university (QS World Rankings, 2023) and we are top 20 in the UK (Complete University Guide, 2023). We bring people and ideas together to achieve the remarkable. We provide the environment, the support, and the challenge for them to realise their fullest potential.

This position will be offered on a full time, permanent basis.
