Postdoctoral Fellowships and Fellowships for ABDs to Work on the Victorian
and Postcolonial Websites
The Web Initiative at the University Scholars Programme, National University
of Singapore, headed by George Landow, who holds a dual appointment at Brown
and NUS, is looking for researchers in the humanities to work in Singapore
on sites that receive as many as 8.3 million hits/month and which are
recommended by the ministries of education in France, Sweden, Ireland,
Scotland, NEH, BBC, etc etc.
We pay a postdoc about US $30,000, which is the equivalent in the USA of
maybe $45,000, since (a) living expenses are lower, (b) income taxes are
about 15%, (c) the first $75,000/year are US tax free. The term can be
anywhere from 6-12 months, and we'd be able to fly someone to the UK or US
for a week or two's research. Here is the description:
a. We need two postdoctoral fellowx for the Victorian Web and one for the
Postcolonial Webs. Their tasks will be some -- not all -- of the following:
I. Linking materials across disciplines, including creating crossroads or
transition documents;
II. Develop new materials by researching, writing, and then integrating
them;
III. Assist win the proof-reading of links and images as well as the
addition of new links;
IV. Help conceptualise, create, and manage links among both individual
disciplines within a web (e.g. science, literature, and economics) and
between major webs (e.g., materials within individual disciplines, say,
history in both Singapore and Victorian Webs.)
V. Recruit contributors who will both write new materials and grant
permission to include major out-of-print materials on which they hold
copyright;
VI. Carry out major projects such as the integration of complete books into
the Victorian Web;
VII. Experiment with and formulate rules for sharing relatively advanced
scholarly and scientific research topics with materials used by learners at
more basic stages, the subsidiary goal of the project being to provide
materials, including introductions and study questions, for secondary school
and beginning university students.
VIII. Create a directory of syllabi world for modules and courses on
selected subjects from major universities throughout the, thus making the
sites an international "place-to-go" for model syllabi.
Those interested, who can base their work in any humanities field, including
history of science and technology, should examine the websites before
applying; they can be found at
www.victorianweb.org and www.postcolonialweb.org
or http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/victorian/ and
http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/
Applicants should contact uspdean@nus.edu.sg. We plan to interview
literature candidates at this year's MLA meeting in New Orleans, and other
arrangements can be made.
