At the Faculty of Librarianship, Information, Education and IT,

The Swedish School of Library and Information Science has for a long
time been active in the digital humanities. The school has established
relationships and partners in the field both internationally and
nationally, such as the network Digital Humanities in the Nordic
Countries, Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of
Gothenburg, and HumLab at Umeå University. A data lab focusing on
digital methods development has recently been launched

Job description
The digital humanities often take as their starting point structured
collections of digitised materials. These have long been enriched,
analysed, evaluated and explored by library and information science. We
would therefore like the doctoral student’s thesis work to be directed
towards one or more of the following areas:
* recognition, mining, and analysis of text, images or patterns in
large amounts of data
* cultural heritage digitisation, digital scholarly editions
* exploring, preserving or adding value to digital collections
* text encoding
* metadata, access to (linked) open data
* developing and/or exploring digital methods and tools
Employment as a doctoral student covers the equivalent of four years of
full-time studies. Normally, doctoral studentship employment focusses
80% of the time on doctoral studies and thesis work. The remaining time
is set aside for departmental service including teaching and
administration, meaning a total period of employment of five years.

The position requires a degree at advanced level (Master’s) in library
and information science or adjacent fields.
Applicants should also have very good knowledge of English, both
written and spoken.
It is considered a merit to have knowledge of Swedish or another
Scandinavian language as well as previous experience of and/or
