Additional projects may be announced before the Workshop.
The ideal fellow has an interest in the application of technology to the humanities. While the needs of each project are different, typical activities include research and the preparation and preliminary analysis of textual and visual materials. Specialized technical skills are not required, though students with some familiarity with or interest in XSLT, CSS, or web programming may find ways to make use of that knowledge.
The fellowships will run from June 4 to July 27 and will involve 30 hours of work per week. Because working in teams is an important part of the fellowship, it is important that fellows can spend most of the weeks and most of the hours on campus, though some flexibility is possible. Undergraduates will be paid $10.50 an hour; graduate students will receive a stipend of $4,200, paid in two installments.
To apply, send a PDF with your CV or résumé and a one-page statement of interest with two parts: (1) why you're interested in the activities of the fellowship, and (2) which project or projects you would prefer to work on. Applications or questions can be directed to Douglas Knox.
Graduate student statements of interest are due by March 1, 2012.
Undergraduate applications are due by April 1, 2012.
