Funded Fellowship Opportunuties: Sloane Lab Community Fellows call
The Sloane Lab Community Fellowship Round Two is now open.
We are seeking to appoint Community Fellows (ten in total until summer 2024) to contribute to “The Sloane Lab: Looking back to build future shared collections”, led by University College London (UCL) in partnership with the Technische Universität Darmstadt, British Museum (BM) and Natural History Museum (NHM). Fellows will undertake creative, critical, practice and/or research-led projects with the Sloane Lab’s Knowledge Base and data, demonstrating the new forms of analysis and interpretation the project can unlock. Each fellowship comes with an award of £7,500. The tenure of the fellowship does not require residency in the UK. All fellowships will be hosted remotely online. Applications are particularly welcomed from people of the Global Majority, disabled people, LGBTQI+ people, and women.
This advertised role offers an exciting opportunity for individuals with an interest in contributing to the Sloane Lab (https://sloanelab.org/), including but not limited to, digital humanists, artists, computer and data scientists and heritage practitioners (community or institution based). The Fellows will exemplify the research capacity unlocked by the Sloane Lab and engage with its Knowledge Base and data directly by undertaking creative, critical and/or research-led projects with collections as data. Research areas may include but are not limited to local and family history, object biography, critical heritage, Indigenous and devalued knowledge, or the transferability of the technology developed by the Sloane Lab.
Start Date (round two): 11th September or based upon negotiation
End Date: The post is funded for 3 months
Application deadline: 15th May 2023
