Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow (EXPIRED)

Rice University’s Humanities Research Center seeks postdoctoral fellows for the 2016-17 Rice Seminar, “Chronotopic Imaginaries: The City in Signs, Signals, and Scripts.”  The multi-disciplinary cohort of fellows will examine how the ongoing production, collection, and curation of unimaginable amounts of chronotopically located data constitute a treasure trove for scholarship to be undertaken at a never before seen scale. The implied ‘connectedness’ of how we live together depends, however, on distributed networks, rules, codes, protocols, and infrastructures, all bound by a paradoxical, if not panopticistic, social contract now located in Cyberia.   $50K salary, benefits eligibility, and research/relocation allowance.  Deadline: December 4, 2015.  Details: hrc.rice.edu/call_mellonpostdocs
