The School of Humanities at the University of Southampton encompasses a diverse range of subjects providing high-quality teaching within a vibrant research and enterprise culture. Southampton Digital Humanities contribute to that environment by enabling staff and students across the School of Humanities to take digital and computational approaches to the humanities teaching, research, and enterprise.
You will support the delivery of ‘Critical Cataloguing for Digital Preservation’, an AHRC funded project that seeks to shape the market readiness of the Southampton Digital Preservation Advisory Unit, a new flagship enterprise project hosted and supported by Southampton Digital Humanities. You will engage in day-to-day client development, liaison, and partnerships, undertake horizon scanning and market activation, gather intelligence on the viability of piloted routes to market, analyse of market intelligence, and work with the project lead to meet project objectives and deliverables. You will have knowledge and understanding of enterprise activities in a university context, with a postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience in a related area.
You will join a team of dedicated educators, researchers, enterprise fellows, and technicians supported by recent investment in Digital Humanities expertise, estate, and resources. Notable among these is our Digital Humanities Hub, an infrastructure that supports study and research, is a hub for expertise and critique, and provides access to technologies that enable us to scan, manipulate, and preserve heritage objects, make and explore virtual worlds, compute text and multimedia, sonify pictures, immerse ourselves in data visualisations, and much more.
