> To members of the Humanities Computing Community:
>
> As part of an effort to make the annual ACH/ALLC meeting an
especially
> useful event for graduate students, the Association for Computers
and the
> Humanities is this year initiating a series of structured
activities for
> job seekers in humanities computing (both academic and industry
> positions).
> We will be conducting these at the annual conference, this year at
NYU
> June
> 13-17 (see the web page at
> http://www.nyu.edu/its/humanities/ach_allc2001).
>
> While the conference is in session, we plan to facilitate
one-to-one
> mentoring meetings with prospective job seekers, probably over
lunch.
> Mentors will be members the ACH's ad hoc committee on job seeking
> activities, all of whom have had first-hand experience with the
"market"
> in
> this field: Julia Flanders, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Wendell Piez,
Lorna
> Hughes and Geoffrey Rockwell. In addition, we're putting together a
poster
> display explicating (or deconstructing) a typical humanities
computing job
> ad, and a binder listing currently available positions in the
field.
>
> Please send e-mail to Wendell Piez  if you'd like
> to chat with a mentor during the conference, and mention whether
you're
> interested in academic or industry work (or both). We'd also be
happy to
> hear from anyone interested in serving as a mentor themselves, or
with
> suggestions for the kind of activities this committee might
undertake in
> the future. Finally, please pass the word about this opportunity to
any
> students or associates who might be interested, encouraging them to
take
> part.
