As part of a collaboration between Oxford and the Sorbonne, we are delighted to announce the new call for applications for a three-year fully funded fellowship open to students wishing to pursue doctoral studies in the history of science, in mathematical sciences, in digital humanities, or in computer science. Details of the fellowship are set out below, both in English and in French.<\/p>\n

Paris-Oxford Research Fellowship in Digital Humanities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recent progress in digital humanities has transformed research in the history of science: large quantities of data, the collation of which would formerly have required time-consuming visits to libraries and archives, have been made available; manuscript and book collections are accessible online; and investigations across a range of related resources become ever easier. In consequence, historical investigations can be contextualized better, studies of networks taken to a new level, and analysis conducted across increasingly large quantities of data and metadata.<\/p>\n

Applications are open currently for a fellowship that will offer the successful doctoral student the opportunity to undertake research over a period of three years at two of the most prestigious institutions in Europe: Sorbonne University<\/a> in Paris and the University of Oxford<\/a>. Applicants should have a background in one or more of the following four disciplines: digital humanities, history of science, mathematics, or computer science. They should demonstrate experience of historical study alongside evident ability in the field of digital humanities or data sciences.<\/p>\n

Thesis topics might combine any area of the history of science with an approach in digital humanities. In particular, proposals exploring innovative digital or computer-based approaches for research in the history of mathematical sciences or on early modern correspondence will be welcome, as will those involving investigation into how the development of digital analysis, research, and visualization tools can contribute to new research on scientific and\/or epistolary corpuses.<\/p>\n

This programme forms part of a scientific collaboration between the Sorbonne\u2019s Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Faculty of History at the University of Oxford. The successful doctoral student will work within the \u2018Digital Humanities\u2019 team at the Institut des sciences du calcul et des donn\u00e9es (ISCD)<\/a> of Sorbonne University (Paris, France) and will conduct a period of research at the University of Oxford (UK), either within the framework of the Cultures of Knowledge<\/a> research project\/Early Modern Letters Online [EMLO]<\/a> at the Faculty of History<\/a>, or of the Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology<\/a>, or of the Mathematical Institute<\/a>. The student will benefit from a three-year funding grant from the Faculty of Science and Engineering of Sorbonne University.<\/p>\n

Further information regarding this opportunity is available from Alexandre Guilbaud (alexandre.guilbaud@sorbonne-universite.fr) or Miranda Lewis (miranda.lewis@history.ox.ac.uk).<\/p>\n

To apply, please send a copy of your CV and an outline of your planned research project to Alexandre Guilbaud (alexandre.guilbaud@sorbonne-universite.fr) before the closing date of 14 June 2019.<\/p>\n

Bourse de recherche Paris-Oxford en humanit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les progr\u00e8s r\u00e9cents accomplis dans les humanit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques ont transform\u00e9 la recherche dans le domaine de l\u2019histoire des sciences : des quantit\u00e9s importantes de donn\u00e9es, dont le rassemblement aurait autrefois demand\u00e9 de nombreuses et longues visites de biblioth\u00e8ques et d\u2019archives, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 mises \u00e0 disposition, des collections de manuscrits et de livres sont accessibles en ligne, et les recherches \u00e0 travers un \u00e9ventail de ressources connexes n\u2019ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi faciles. En cons\u00e9quence, les recherches historiques peuvent \u00eatre mieux contextualis\u00e9es, des \u00e9tudes de r\u00e9seaux amen\u00e9es \u00e0 un autre niveau, l\u2019analyse peut \u00eatre r\u00e9alis\u00e9e \u00e0 travers des quantit\u00e9s de plus en plus grandes de donn\u00e9es et de m\u00e9tadonn\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Les candidatures sont ouvertes pour une allocation de recherche qui offrira au doctorant retenu l\u2019opportunit\u00e9 d\u2019entreprendre des recherches sur une p\u00e9riode de trois ans au sein de deux des institutions les plus prestigieuses d\u2019Europe : Sorbonne Universit\u00e9<\/a> \u00e0 Paris et l\u2019Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Oxford<\/a>. Les candidats devront avoir une formation dans une ou plus des quatre disciplines suivantes : les humanit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques, l\u2019histoire des sciences, les math\u00e9matiques ou l\u2019informatique. Ils devront d\u00e9montrer qu\u2019ils poss\u00e8dent une exp\u00e9rience des \u00e9tudes historiques ainsi que des comp\u00e9tences manifestes dans le domaine des humanit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques ou des sciences des donn\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Les sujets pourront associer n\u2019importe quel domaine de l\u2019histoire des sciences avec une approche en humanit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques. En particulier, les propositions explorant des approches num\u00e9riques ou informatiques innovantes pour des recherches en histoire des sciences math\u00e9matiques ou des recherches sur les correspondances de l\u2019\u00e8re moderne seront bienvenues, de m\u00eame que les probl\u00e9matiques s\u2019int\u00e9ressant \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont le d\u00e9veloppement d\u2019outils d\u2019analyse, de recherche de visualisation num\u00e9riques peut contribuer \u00e0 de nouvelles recherches sur les corpus scientifiques et\/ou \u00e9pistolaires.<\/p>\n

Ce programme s\u2019inscrit dans le cadre d\u2019une collaboration scientifique entre la Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Ing\u00e9nierie de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Sorbonne et la Facult\u00e9 d\u2019Histoire de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Oxford. Le candidat s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 travaillera au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe \u2018Humanit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques\u2019 \u00e0 l\u2019Institut des sciences du calcul et des donn\u00e9es (ISCD) de Sorbonne Universit\u00e9<\/a> (Paris, France) et effectuera une p\u00e9riode de recherche \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Oxford (Royaume-Uni), soit dans le cadre du projet Cultures of Knowledge<\/a>\/Early Modern Letters Online [EMLO]<\/a> \u00e0 la Facult\u00e9 d\u2019Histoire<\/a>, ou du Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology<\/a>, ou de l\u2019Institut de Math\u00e9matiques<\/a>. Le doctorant b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiera d\u2019une allocation doctorale de trois ans financ\u00e9e par la Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Ing\u00e9nierie de Sorbonne Universit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
