Become a Student Ambassador (0.1 FTE) at the Centre for Digital Humanities
Do you have ideas on how to engage your fellow humanities students with Digital Humanities (DH)? Would you like to organise a student activity that brings DH to life? The Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) is looking for a Student Ambassador (0.1 FTE) to help involve students in CDH activities.
Humanities researchers, lecturers, and students are increasingly working with digital methods, to study culture, language, media, and history. Skills such as data analysis, visualisation, and digital archiving open up new research possibilities — and are valuable additions to your thesis and CV.
Through the CDH training programme, students can learn to code, work with social media data and AI, and other digital tools — alongside lecturers and researchers. There is also a special grant available specifically for students.
If you have ideas on how to better reach, inspire, and support students within the Faculty of Humanities, then apply now to become a CDH Student Ambassador!
What will you do?
- Organise one student-focused activity or event per quarter on a DH-related topic;
- Contribute ideas and suggestions for the CDH training programme;
- Help promote CDH activities and content through blogs, interviews, and other communication channels.
Who are we looking for?
- A third-year Bachelor’s student or (R)MA student in the Faculty of Humanities at Utrecht University;
- A proactive person who enjoys developing and realising their own ideas, with practical support from the CDH core team.
Practical information
- Appointment: paid student assistant position (0.1 FTE) for six months, with possible extension;
- Start date: 1 February 2026
- Work location: flexible workspace at the CDH office on the Drift, or from home.
