Vacancy: Historical Data Specialist for research infrastructure ‘Chains of the Past’ (Radboud University) – deadline 21 June 2026
The Faculty of Arts of Radboud University is looking for a Historical Data Specialist for the project ‘Chains of the Past’.
‘Chains of the Past’ sits at the frontier of digital historical research. By processing thousands of historical handwritten documents, this project builds a data infrastructure that will support future research into the lives of enslaved and free people in the former Dutch colonies. The data specialist will help lay the foundations for this new and innovative research landscape.
Although the vacancy is primarily aimed at postdoc researchers, because of the specialised nature of this position, qualified candidates without a PhD are also invited to apply. Applications should be submitted ultimately 21 June 2026.
