JOB DESCRIPTION
Status: tenure-track FNSP Assistant Professor (private sector)
Discipline: History
Profile: The position is open to applicants fully trained in history who are capable of developing a research and
teaching program in digital history. It involves both a familiarity with the methods, tools and data at the basis of
computerized operations, and an ability to use them in order to develop historical research, understood in the
classical and fundamental meaning of the term, covering the 19 th -20 th  centuries.

DUTIES
Research
Candidates must demonstrate their command of techniques used in the digital humanities. They will be evaluated
on the quality of their own research projects and the latter’s alignment with the CHSP’s thematic areas of focus.
Consideration will also be given to their ability to work collectively in their training of masters and PhD students who
may rely on these methods, and to their participation in team research projects developed within the CHSP. The
selected candidate will specifically be tasked with coordinating the CHSP’s Corpus, archives, campus research
cluster.

Teaching
In addition to courses in methodology, the selected candidate will teach ones in his/her field of historical
research. Courses will be taught at the three levels of education offered at Sciences Po in Paris, and at the
undergraduate level at the regional campuses. The recruited Assistant Professor (AP) will be able to partner
with any of the other schools interested in introducing a historical perspective to the understanding of their
subjects, and in benefiting from the added value of the historian’s savoir-faire in source criticism with regard
to  the  digital  humanities  and  big  data.  The  AP  will also  be  expected  to  teach  courses  at  the  School  of
Management and Innovation (EMI) and to lead a history masters-level seminar.
Annual teaching duties are 128 master class-equivalent (CM) hours that can be divided into three 24-hour
master classes and 56 CM hours of complementary pedagogical services. During their first three tenure-track
years, Assistant Professors’ annual duty is reduced to 88 CM hours.
