Princeton, United States InsideHigherEd Full time
Overview

Do you want to advance humanistic research through software? Are you a humanities researcher who loves to write code to solve problems? Are you a software engineer who wants to tackle research questions? If so, consider applying to join the Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) as our new Research Software Engineer (RSE).

As RSE, you will be an integral member of a collaborative team that designs and implements high-quality, sustainable software to advance research in the humanities. You will work closely with faculty, student, and campus partners to translate research priorities into software needs, including analyzing data, implementing models or simulations, and developing software modules or tools. You will advise Princeton scholars and recommend appropriate approaches and solutions, and will contribute to research articles, presentations, and course modules. 

For this position, we are looking for a team member with expertise in data analysis and visualization, particularly from a humanities perspective. Your work will enable domain-specific research discoveries, while also advancing data visualization research within the digital humanities. The interests and experience you bring to CDH will benefit existing projects, and will help recruit new partners for future collaborations. We look forward to hearing in your cover letter how you envision your work connecting with and expanding the efforts of the CDH to advance scholarship at the intersection of the humanities and computation.

This position reports to the CDH Assistant Director and qualifies for 20% R&D time on personal research or professional development that enhances/complements departmental work.

It is a full time, full benefits, permanent position in Princeton, NJ, with the possibility for some flexible work arrangements. This is not a remote position.
