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 ran from June 4 to July 27 and involved 30 hours of work per week.

Projects for this summer include
The ideal fellow has an interest in the humanities and a capacity for interest in the application of technology to them, but is not necessarily a humanities student, nor must he or she be highly technically experienced. Typical activities include markup of textual and visual material in XML, designing the display of same in XSLT and CSS, and web programming, as well as more traditional tasks like library and bibliographical research, and annotation and organization of primary source material.
The fellowship will run from May 31 to July 23 and will involve 30 hours of work per week. (Some time-wise flexibility exists, though because working in teams is an important part of the fellowship, it's important that fellows can spend most of the weeks & most of the hours on campus.) Undergraduates will be paid at $10 an hour; graduate students will receive a stipend (the exact amount is still forthcoming, pending the release of summer funding announcements from the Graduate College).
To apply, send 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 & (2) which project or projects you'd like to work on (also please mention whether you're willing to work on any project that need fellows). Applications or questions can be directed to Perry Trolard.
Applications are due by April 6 (PDF preferred).

The Humanities Digital Workshop (Arts & Sciences Computing) and Digital Library Services (Olin Library) are happy to announce summer fellowships in Digital Humanities for undergraduate and graduate students. The fellowship program will introduce students to work being done in the digital humanities -- both at large and at Washington University -- and provide them the opportunity to contribute to WUSTL projects, including:
Tim Parsons is redesigning the introductory World History survey to include multi-media and historical simulation components. Keith Bennett is interested in incubating projects that would benefit from an immersive visualization of a historical site.
Details
The workshop runs from June 2 - July 11 and will meet for four hours a day. The first two weeks will consist of instruction and faculty visits; the final four weeks, students will work on the project with which they're paired. (Undergraduates have the option of working an additional two weeks, making the fellowship a total of eight weeks.)
Graduates will receive a stipend of at least $1800; undergraduates will be paid at $10 per hour.
