[InetBib] PhD-Fellowship "Long-term business models in dissemination and publishing" in the Hague

[Franz Fischer <franz.fischer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe Liste,

folgende Ausschreibung einer Doktorand/inn/enstelle am Huygens  
Institut in Den Haag mag für den einen oder die andere hier von  
Interesse sein:


The Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands has a vacancy  
for a Research Fellow (Early Stage Researcher), in Long-term business  
models in dissemination and publishing (1.0 fte)

The fellow will work within the EU-supported Marie Curie Initial  
Training Network DiXiT (http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/) involved in the  
creation and publication of digital scholarly editions. The  
appointment is for 26 months and the position is to be filled as soon  
as possible. The researcher will be based at the Hague (the  
Netherlands). EU regulations to promote international mobility require  
eligible candidates not to have worked or lived in the Netherlands for  
more than 12 months over the last three years.
The researcher will investigate the competing demands faced by digital  
scholarly editions: on the one hand the need for financial  
sustainability w.r.t. exploitation and maintenance, and on the other  
hand the general interest of the scholarly community in open access.  
Digital editions are usually created based on project funding, limited  
in time. After funding runs out, they need to be hosted, administered  
and maintained into an indefinite future. Is there a conceivable  
business model for the digital scholarly edition that will help the  
edition pay for its own maintenance while maintaining open access?

The research project includes secondments in Italy and the UK.

Position requirements
- Master in a humanities field (e.g. Literary Studies, History) and a  
proven interest in business administration, or a master in business  
administration and a proven interest in the humanities
- Active interest in digital publication
- Affinity with information technology
- Fluent in English
- Some knowledge of Dutch is an advantage but not a requirement;  
learning Dutch is encouraged
- Willing to reach out to and collaborate with national and  
international colleagues in related research disciplines
- See also the eligibility requirements at  
http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/fellows.html, the vacancy for Early Stage  
Researcher 10.
