Postdoctoral Fellow in the History and Future of the Book (2011-12, renewable)

The Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project, funded by a Major Collaborative Research Initiative grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), seeks a post-doctoral fellow in the History and Future of the Book, with expertise in Textual Studies and Digital Humanities. This position is based in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. The successful candidate is anticipated to work closely with team members at U Toronto, Acadia U, U Saskatchewan, U Victoria, U Western Ontario, and beyond. The postdoctoral fellow’s work will bridge between digital humanities and the history of books and reading, collaborating with INKE’s Textual Studies team, consulting with project stakeholders and potential stakeholders, and liaising with other INKE researchers located in North America and the UK. The fellow will be expected to teach a light course load in the Faculty of Information and the collaborative program in Book History and Print Culture, to be remunerated in addition to the fellowship’s salary.
