About us
The UCL Department of Information Studies offers postgraduate qualifications for the library, archive, digital humanities, information and publishing professions, collaborates in the delivery of an inter-faculty BSc in Information Management for Business and launched a new BSc Information in Society programme at UCL East in 2024. We have a strong international reputation for research collaboration.
About the role
The Department of Information Studies wishes to appoint an innovative applicant to a 3-year fixed contract 0.5 FTE lectureship, with the post available from September 2025, who can support teaching in the broad field of Digital Humanities.
We are particularly interested in a digital humanities researcher who could support teaching technical methods to humanities students, including but not limited to programming, interdisciplinary research methods, and data visualisation. The MA/MSc Digital Humanities programmes recruit students with a variety of cultural, linguistic, and academic backgrounds, and we are particularly interested in appointing a candidate who has experience of teaching technical methods to students with little or no prior experience of programming or similar skills. The current teaching materials are focused on JavaScript for the Introduction to Programming module, and R for the Data Visualisation module. The department also supports student learning in Python.
The initial focus will be at the master’s level as part of the MA/MSc in Digital Humanities delivered on the main UCL campus in Bloomsbury, with potential scope to contribute to the teaching of similar technical modules on the BSc Information in Society at the UCL East Campus, within the School for the Creative and Cultural Industries (SCCI).
The successful candidate will also be expected to supervise master’s dissertations, to undertake grade appropriate academic related administrative duties and to contribute to team-taught classes such as our Research Methods for Digital Humanities module.
