Greetings, all--

The following posting may be of interest to some of you:

MPublishing at the University of Michigan Library seeks applications
from postdoctoral candidates in the humanities for a two-year position
that focuses on digital scholarship and publishing. The MPublishing
CLIR Fellowship will provide an opportunity for an ambitious and
curious Ph.D. recipient in the humanities to develop skills and
experience as a publishing professional in an innovative library-based
scholarly communication environment.

Reporting to the Head of Publishing Services Outreach, the Fellow will
assist with articulating, developing, and promoting publishing needs
and publishing models. Specific activities may include:

   * Researching publishing needs for the digital humanities and
humanities publishing through surveys, listening sessions, and other
research methods; implementing new products and/or services based on
research
   * Facilitating the promotion and outreach of MPublishing to campus
and beyond through a variety of media and audiences
   * Working with faculty and MPublishing staff to produce online
scholarly journals and book series

While the CLIR fellow will work on a range of publishing initiatives,
this fellowship will be of particular interest to those who are
interested in alternative academic career paths in higher education;
emerging models and modes of scholarly communication and publishing;
and dynamic new roles for libraries and university presses. This
position will be a good match for Fellows with abilities and interests
in digital technology and media. The Fellow will participate in
national meetings with other CLIR fellows.

Good luck!
