Dear colleagues,
Could you please forward the job announcement below to all who might be
interested?

Postdoc opportunity in Digital humanities, Uppsala University
ActDisease [1] (https://www.actdisease.org) is a five-year research
project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) with a Starting
Grant (ERC-2021-STG 101040999) and placed at the Department of History
of Science and Ideas at Uppsala University, Sweden. The project studies
the history of 20th-century medicine and the role of lay involvement in
science through analysis of so far largely neglected, but central actors
in medical history: patient organizations. These groups first emerged in
the late 19th century, and worked towards increased attention to
particular illnesses, shared information on disease management, promoted
treatments, and developed healthcare resources.
The ActDisease project gathers an interdisciplinary research team to
analyse the publications and archives of selected patient organizations
from four European nations - Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom and France
- using a combination of traditional and computer based historiographic
methods. The project entails a large-scale digitization of patient
organization periodicals and using various text mining technologies to
analyze these sources. The particular features of this material and the
research questions pose a number of challenges to text mining methods,
ranging from its fragmented and multilingual nature to the analysis of
relationships between different corpora and professional and lay
spheres.
We are now accepting applications for a postdoc position (two years
full-time employment with the possibility of one further year extension
provided sufficient funds) in Digital Humanities. Full details can be
found in the announcement:
