Experienced Researcher
“Canonical reference & sustainability of digital editions”
(40 hours/week; fixed-term employment for the period of 12 months, starting
1 April 2016)
The Centre for Information Modeling – Austrian Centre for Digital
Humanities at the University of Graz has rich experience in DH research and
teaching and is involved in a variety of (inter)national projects. The main
research area of the ZIM-ACDH is digital edition as a generalizable method
of semantic and formal enrichment and analysis of research data from the
humanities and cultural heritage domains.
* Job Specifications*
- The research fellow will do supervised research on “Canonical
reference & sustainability of digital editions” in the Marie Curie Initial
Training Network “DiXiT”.
- It is crucial that digital scholarly editions are stable reference
texts that embed in themselves established canonical reference systems and
persistent identifiers (PIDs). The relationship between well-established
reference systems and technical PID systems will be explored in order to
contribute to a common resolving infrastructure.
- The candidate will conduct theoretical research on canonical reference
and human naming systems and their inherent logics, develop a proposal for
a generic referencing system for digital editions and implement this system
in the Graz FEDORA-Commons-Infrastructure GAMS (
http://gams.uni-graz.at/doku) as a proof of concept.
* Professional Qualifications*
- Relevant doctoral university degree (or research experience of at
least four years), preferably in the Humanities.
- Prior experience with scholarly editing and canonical reference
systems.
- Ability to present the subject in English (spoken and written).
- High level of commitment and motivation for scientific work and
international collaboration.

This position is funded through the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial
Training Network (DiXiT). To download the mandatory Application Form, visit
