Digital Humanities TCD

If you are a podcast listener, we cannot encourage you strongly enough to check out the Schuler Democracy Forum / Trinity Long Room Hub's new series 'The History of the Future', which explores the intersection of technology, media and democracy, past and present. Hosted by the wonderful Elspeth Payne and Mark Little, and featuring archival audio clips as well as a wide range of guests (including our Director, Jennifer Edmond), it's a great addition to the listening queue.

Come join our Team! DH@TCD is recruiting a Research Fellow in Digital Humanities and Democracy.

The Trinity College Centre for Digital Humanities is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow (initial contract for 2 years, extensible for up to 36 months depending on start date and entry grade) with fluency and expertise in digital technology and the humanities to join its growing and diverse team. The purpose of this position is to support the delivery of the KT4D (Knowledge Technologies for Democracy) project.

The KT4D project will harness the benefits of an understanding of AI and big data as knowledge technologies to foster more inclusive civic participation in democracy. To achieve this, we will develop and validate tools, guidelines and a Digital Democracy Lab demonstrator platform. These results will be validated across three user needs scenarios: 1) building capacity for citizens and citizen-facing Civil Society Organisations (CSOs); 2) creating regulatory tools and services for Policy and CSOs; and 3) improving awareness of how to design ethically and mindfully for democratic principles in academic and industrial software development. Our work is underpinned by the understanding that to fully address the social and fundamental rights costs of AI and big data, we need more than just technological fixes, we need to address the underlying cultural influences and barriers. The KT4D consortium of 12 partners from across Europe has been funded by the European Commission and is led by Trinity College Dublin’s Professor Jennifer Edmond, Co-Director of the Trinity Centre for Digital Humanities. The appointee will be based in the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and will work closely with Professor Edmond and the DH@TCD Team, also based in the Trinity Long Room Hub.

The appointee will work closely and collaboratively with the Project PI to deliver a series of activities woven into the overall goals and ambitions of the KT4D project, documenting the history and imaginaries of knowledge technologies, deepening our understanding of the impact of cultural factors on critical digital literacy, and the cultural specificity of exploring the cultural implications of frameworks for participatory and ethical software design. For further information, see the job posting and spec here: https://dh.tcd.ie/dh/come-join-our-team-dhtcd-is-recruiting-a-research-fellow-in-digital-humanities-and-democracy/. Closing date for applications is 18 January, 2023. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Jennifer Edmond. ([email protected]).
