The Fapesp Thematic Project Digital Collections and Archives announces Call for Posdoctoral Fellowship:

The Thematic Project Digital Archives and Research: Art, Architecture, Design, and Technology (FAPESP Grant No. 2022/05946-9), based at FAU-USP, is offering a postdoctoral fellowship for a researcher with a PhD whose work focuses on community-based digital archives. The research aims to investigate how notions of community circulate and how community archives can be collectively organized, maintained, and accessed. The project should build on the study of digital and online collective databases and collections, such as discussion lists, repositories documenting digital public policies, and publications produced by networks and collectives.

Projects that include place-based activities within the communities and territories in which they are developed are particularly encouraged. The project must be developed using free and open-source software and open platforms on the Internet. The archive’s content should bring together multiple perspectives on the history and recent events of the community’s territory. From a technological perspective, the research will investigate distributed architectures, federated protocols, and the use of local, autonomous, and open-source artificial intelligence models to integrate and expand these archives, with an emphasis on the long-term preservation of collections and technological sovereignty.
