   Job Summary


   Founded in 2012, the Sherman Centre is an incubator and catalyst of
   digital scholarship (DS) and digital humanities (DH) activity at
   McMaster University. A critical need that has become apparent in the
   Centre’s work is the inclusion of critical data and data justice
   competencies training. From the vantage point of the Sherman Centre, we
   see a clear opportunity to increasingly introduce undergraduate and
   graduate students, faculty and staff, and members of broader
   communities to critical considerations of data-driven approaches and
   outcomes while improving their general data fluency.


   Working under the direction of the Academic and Administrative
   Directors of the Sherman Centre, the postdoctoral fellow will support
   the general outreach and curricular activities of the Sherman Centre,
   with a specific focus on critical and intersectional approaches to data
   security, privacy and surveillance. The research program undertaken by
   the postdoctoral fellow will result in knowledge development and
   dissemination as well as resource creation and training in these areas
   for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and members
   of broader communities.


   In alignment with their own DS/DH research agenda, the postdoctoral
   fellow will, in close collaboration with other Sherman Centre staff:
     * offer training and support for general and selected specific tools
       and techniques that support data security and digital privacy
       broadly
     * assess faculty and graduate student needs, and goals with relation
       to research data security, privacy and management
     * offer consultation to faculty and graduate students to enable them
       to begin including critical data and data justice competencies in
       their teaching and research
     * support the further development of workshops, talks, and events at
       the Sherman Centre
     * prepare and deliver an undergraduate digital scholarship
       introductory course annually, and
     * connect and engage with other data justice, digital scholarship,
       and digital humanities initiatives in the region and beyond.


   Beyond these responsibilities, the postdoc will participate actively in
   the life and activities of the Sherman Centre and represent it at key
   DS/DH events, such as the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI)
   and the annual Digital Humanities conference at the institution’s
   expense.
