Applications are invited for several research assistantships in the
newly-established Electronic Textual Cultures Lab based in the
University of Victoria's Department of English, and allied with the
Humanities Computing and Media Centre, in areas related to
literary studies, the digital humanities, and humanities computing.

The assistantships will be in [1] digitisation, [2] document encoding
and transformation, [3] website development, and [4] programming.

An understanding and appreciation of the field of literary studies is
essential for these positions, as is proficiency with computers and an
awareness of the application of computing techniques to humanities
disciplines. If necessary, specific training in digitisation, encoding,
and analysis as they relate to the expectations of the position is
available to incumbents during the Digital Humanities / Humanities
Computing Summer Institute (June 2005; see
http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/institute/).

For these positions, the contract of employment will be for twelve hours
per week, for twelve months (renewable), at standard local rates
($17.49/hour in 2004); in addition, all assistants are eligible to apply
for a Graduate Tuition Fellowship of $4,400 for the year (2004 value).

For more information about these positions, please contact the project
