Job Opportunities

The highIy interdisciplinary and international profile of those who obtain this title can lind employment in:

  • Superintendencies, museums and other national and international cultural institutions (libraries, archives and cultural centers in general), non-governmental agencies related to the management of cultural heritage, international organizations for the study and conservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and its advisory bodies;
  • The high-level profile can work in the publishing domain, not only for traditional "editing" actions, but in those publishing houses that want to experiment new approaches in the production of knowledge through innovative and transmedia forms of cultural content production, such as systems of "data stories" and new narratives for the transmission of knowledge;
  • Private companies that work in cultural heritage, and in particular for the creation of environments and infrastructures, including Web-based applications, for the enhancement of cultural resources, also reflecting on users' profiles, as "personas" and devices for access;
  • Communication agencies, non-profit organizations for the production of transversal cultural strategies and artistic projects, tourism industry, cultural and creative industries (ICC);
  • University research, which increasingly requires interdisciplinary skills and hybridization of knowledge between different fields and disciplinary areas, also reflecting on the research and third mission actions carried out by the centers involved in the training project: ADLab, DH.ARC, FRameLab, ARCE, OpenAire nexus, LUDI, CRICC, CIust-ER CreAte by ARTER

 

The course is qualified for the highly interdisciplinary path it undertakes, both in the choice of topics and in the selection of College members, following the international guidelines for research on cultural heritage in the digital ecosystem. Some parameters identify the internationalization features of the PhD:

1. Close collaboration with the Una Europa consortium (European Doctorate on Cultural Heritage), already involving colleagues from the Consortium universities among the members of the college;

2. An offer intended as a natural continuation of training in interdisciplinary fields already well-known by students coming from abroad, where cross-disciplinary training is the added value of the profile;

3. The personal relationships of the College's members with international colleagues, with whom a collaboration is already in place; Erasmus conventions and exchanges already active; contacts with international research centers: e.g. for DH, the EADH and ADHO Associations, the DARIAH infrastructure, the Center for e-humanities (Cologne), the Department of Digital Humanities of King's College (London), TTEM (Paris), Octet (Oxford), Mundaneum (Mons), Bibliotheca disciplined International Forum (Brazil), Center for the Fine Print (University of West England - Bristol), WAB (University of Bergen), The Stirling Center for Publishing and Communication (Stirling Univ.), South African Department of Computer Science.

4. The precious and vast cultural heritage preserved in Italy, leveraging its high level of interest in the international environment;

5. The development of innovative research methods and digitization models, potentially replicable in other countries, designing new systems, environments, solutions, in the domain of "FAIRification", with a widely reuse approach in an Open Science context.
