I am copying/pasting information from another blog in this post. It's about a Call for Application in Digital History at the University of Luxembourg and the deadline is the 15th of August 2012 so you'd better think about soon ! Benoit Majerus, Associate Professor of Contemporary History at the Luxembourg University announced yesterday in his blog, A Notebook, that his own University was looking for an Associate Professor/Professor in Digital History. Majerus remembers that, Digital Humanities had been present in Luxembourg for some years now thanks to Professor René Leboutte and the CVCE (Centre Virtuel de la connaissance de l'Europe).   After the successful DHLU Symposium 2012 and THATCamp Luxembourg/Trier in March this year, the Luxembourg History department argued that it would have been important to remain active in this new research field. Majerus writes "I think that we are the first university on the continent that offers a chair in Digital History".  Here's part of the job description and the call for application is as follow: Word cloud of the first day of #dhlu by Frédéric ClavertThe Assistant Professor/Professor will be expected to undertake research focused on Digital History from different perspectives notably to act as an intermediary between new technologies and humanities and / or by analysing of the uses made of new digital tools for history (archives, narratives…).
