Job Description

The Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore, invites applications for one postdoctoral fellow (full-time) to join the project team for "Alternatives to Confucian Capitalism: Digitizing Chinese association and business documents to create a comprehensive database for business history (1819-1965)," directed by Professor Kenneth Dean (PI).

The Postdoctoral Fellow will supervise the scanning of commemorative volumes, the development of data sets from these digital editions (using TEI) and complete the TEI of the inscription texts. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also assist with the location of business documents (account books, business correspondence) in older shophouses, religious organisations and associations of Singapore and carry out digital photography of these sources, cataloguing, repairing (when needed) and editing and analysis of the digital texts, together with the project team.

Applicants should upload a cover letter and updated CV (including academic publications and research experience) to the NUS jobs portal for consideration. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified. The successful applicant will be offered a fixed-term contract of 10 months from the date of hire, likely to be in Aug/Sept 2025. The position will be based in Singapore, although some research travel may be permitted.

Qualifications

Applicants should have at least a PhD (preferably in Chinese Studies or in any other relevant discipline) and relevant working and/or research experience (post-PhD) is preferred. Knowledge of local Daoist ritual traditions and their connections with China is required for this position, and extensive fieldwork experience in Singaporean Chinese temples and association and/or experience with TEI and digital humanities is strongly preferred. Applicants should also have professional proficiency in both English and Chinese as a large portion of the research material is in Chinese and related research, analysis and discussion will need to be carried out in both languages.
