Hello all,

I'm posting a reminder about the senior position in Humanities
Computing at the University of Alberta. I've pasted the text below,
but it can also be found at
http://huco.ualberta.ca. The competition
closes 2 April 2007.

The position will provide a opportunity to influence significantly
the direction of humanities computing research in Canada and beyond,
as we're looking to expand our programme, including the creation of a
doctoral programme. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact me.

Thanks,

Sean Gouglas

focuses on significant issues of textuality, interfaces, and
information browsing and retrieval. Candidates should have
significant experience in curriculum development in communication and
digital media programmes at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.
We would specifically welcome applicants who have led the successful
development of new degree programmes. Candidates will have a
substantial track record of success in obtaining funding from
