We are looking for a new team player with a PhD degree in history, digital humanities, or data/computer science with a proven track record in working with historical data.
As AI technologies continue to advance at a rapid pace, we believe it is essential to harness these powerful tools to deepen our understanding of the past and revolutionize the way we study and teach history. This groundbreaking role will be at the forefront of applying AI methodologies to unlock new insights from historical data, enabling us to ask and answer questions that were previously beyond the scope of traditional research methods, and at the C²DH you will have a perfect environment in which to experiment and build.
As Professor of AI and History at the C²DH, you will be responsible for developing and leading an innovative research program that leverages AI technologies to push the boundaries of historical inquiry. You will apply machine learning, natural language processing, and other AI techniques to vast historical, multimodal datasets. By using AI to identify patterns, connections, and trends that might be missed by human researchers, you will offer new perspectives on the past. You will also teach relevant courses to our undergraduate and graduate students and actively participate in our Doctoral Education (Doctoral School of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Doctoral Training Unit on “Deep Data Science of Digital History”). Through your research and teaching, you will help to strengthen the position of the C²DH and the University of Luxembourg as an international leader in the field of digital history and in the application of artificial intelligence to the study of the past in specific.
