The Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles seeks to hire an assistant or associate professor of transcultural digital humanities with expertise in computationally-enabled, data-centric research and teaching.
We invite applications from candidates at the Assistant and Associate Professor ranks, with a preference for those at the Assistant Professor level. A Ph.D. must be in hand by the time of appointment.
Preference will be given to candidates with a track record of digital humanities projects. We are particularly interested in scholarship that makes use of multilingual, digital archives in the cultural, linguistic, literary, and historical traditions of our department (French and Francophone Studies, Germanic languages, Italian, Scandinavian languages, and/or central European languages, including Yiddish).
We are open to any field of digital humanities, including innovative approaches to digital textual studies and natural language processing, translation studies, AI-enabled archival studies, historical reconstruction and cultural preservation, modelling and historical GIS, and digital media studies (including related fields such as sound studies, performance studies, and visual culture).
We are eager to build upon local, national, and global partnerships with institutions focused on cultural heritage preservation, critical data studies and archival studies, especially European institutions that promote democracy, transnational citizenship, and ethical uses of technology in civil society. We are committed to expanding our departmental offerings across the fields of the experimental humanities: digital, environmental, urban, public, and health humanities, along with community engagement, through new offerings in areas such as the humanities and AI, data justice and algorithmic ethics, urban futures, migration studies, human rights, museum and archival studies, and social justice.
This search is sponsored by DataX, a campuswide initiative that advances research, scholarship, artistic creation, and education to strengthen UCLA's robust, diverse, and cross-disciplinary community of data-centric scholars. DataX aims to empower, enhance, and integrate existing capabilities across campus. DataX prioritizes social and ethical concerns by foregrounding approaches and applications at the intersection of data, justice, and society. The purpose of this search is to recruit exceptional, interdisciplinary scholars whose teaching, scholarship and service augment applied 'data sciences' and 'data cultures' in all disciplines. The faculty hired through this search will be active participants in the DataX community, will gain access to the DataX research pipeline and, as inaugural core faculty of DataX, will help build inclusive research and educational initiatives across the UCLA campus.
We seek the potential for exceptional research, excellence in teaching (lower division to graduate), and value candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. Women and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists' current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled 'Authorization to Release Information' into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.
