You will help develop workflows to publish qualitative, potentially sensitive data from sociolinguistic interviews in open access by applying the framework of the Text Encoding Initiative and FAIR principles.
Candidate profile
Applications will be considered from students in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) with a sustained interest in Digital Humanities. Candidates should be highly proficient in English and French (minimum C1), as the data is in French.
The following criteria are a plus, but no strict prerequisites:
- Demonstrable courses or term papers on relevant topics, especially sociolinguistics;
- Demonstrable familiarity with relevant research methods, such as using digital methods in the humanities.
