About us

The UCL Department of Information Studies (DIS) in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes spanning digital humanities, information and data science, archives and records management, publishing, and the library and information professions. The Department has a strong international reputation for research and is deeply committed to high-quality, inclusive and interdisciplinary teaching.

About the role

The Department of Information Studies at UCL invites applications for a Lecturer in Technologies in the Digital Humanities (Grade 8) to provide full-time leave cover for four months from 1 December 2026 to 28th February 2027 in the first instance. The post will primarily support the MA/MSc in Digital Humanities during Term 2 of the 2026/27 academic year.

This is a short and teaching-intensive appointment designed to ensure continuity of module delivery, assessment and student support. The successful candidate will take on a full Term 2 teaching load and should be ready to work within existing module structures and materials from the start of the appointment.

We seek a candidate with strong technical expertise who can teach data visualisation, GIS and contemporary generative AI approaches in ways that are accessible and critically informed. The Digital Humanities programmes bring together students from humanities and other disciplinary backgrounds, so the ability to teach practical technical content clearly to students with different levels of prior experience is essential

The principal Term 2 teaching responsibilities will be:

• INST0100 Generative AI for Information Processing
• INST0065 Data Visualization and GIS (or other contribution to wider teaching)

Alongside module teaching, the postholder will contribute to assessment and marking, personal tutoring, Master's dissertation supervision and other programme-level enabling and administrative work appropriate to a full-time member of the Digital Humanities team during the cover period.
