Senior researcher fellowship: "Digital scholarly editing and memory institutions"
Swedish School of Library and Information Science
Borås

The Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) at the

University of Boras ([http://www.hb.se/en/](http://www.hb.se/en/)), Sweden, is
offering a Marie

Curie funded fellowship for an Experienced Researcher in the DiXiT

project (Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network,

[http://dixit.uni-koeln.de](http://dixit.uni-koeln.de)). The position is full-
time, with a

fixed-term employment for 12 months, starting March 1 2016, and located

at SSLIS.

  
Description:

The study of this Experienced Researcher project aims to critically

explore the range of measures and methods for establishing

trustworthiness, quality parameters and authenticity of digital

reproductions in libraries and archives, particularly by looking at

cases where levels and measures are negotiated between such memory

institutions and external agents hired to perform parts of the process.

The results of such negotiations might have significant bearing on the

value of the digitized resource, and the level of post-processing work,

use and re-use that can be performed with the digitized material within

digital edition projects and other scholarly work. How and to what

extent are these measures and methods maintained consistently throughout

projects versus being renegotiated, possibly affecting the scholarly

value of the digitized resource?

  
Formal requirements:

Within DiXiT, the applicant for the position of Senior Researcher

must:

- be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of  
full-time equivalent research experience.

- also have less than five years of full-time equivalent research  
experience.

- be fluent in English.  
  
_There is also a mobility rule within the DiXiT project which means that

the applicant of the position as Senior Researcher at SSLIS must not

have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies etc) in

the country of his/her host organization (Sweden) for more than 12

months in 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment. Short stays,

such as holidays, are not taken into account._

  
Professional qualifications:

- Relevant doctoral degree (or at least four years of research

editing.
