CfP DIGITAL CLASSICIST SEMINAR BERLIN 2025/26.
All info here: https://digital-classicist.bbaw.de/cfp. Deadline: 16 August 2025.
This year's series focuses on the theme of **“Potential and Limits of Digital Methods”**. Digital methods offer enormous potential: they enable the precise documentation and analysis of sources and finds and facilitate access to data via digital platforms. They open up new perspectives on cultures from early times to late antiquity and allow for innovative research questions. At the same time, however, limitations are also apparent, for example due to technical and legal requirements, data incompatibilities, or methodological challenges. Possible topics could include: visualizations and their epistemic value; the application and long-term reusability of digital methods; reproducibility of results; challenges of big data, etc. We particularly encourage early career researchers to submit a paper! #digiclass #classics #digitalhumanities @antiquidons

Classics librarian job: The University of Cincinnati Libraries seek to fill the position of Head of the John Miller Burnam Classics Library. The Head of the Classics Library provides services to the internationally recognized Classics Department, researchers, faculty, and students. The successful candidate for this tenure track position will continue to enhance the library’s reputation as a world-class, top-ranking research library for Classics scholars at UC and globally.
(On a personal note, I can vouch that this is one of the top Classics libraries in the US. It has an individual endowment that has enabled it to maintain a vigorous acquisition policy in an era of library funding cuts.)
