Posted on behalf of the Department of Government, Harvard University.
We are seeking motivated graduate students who study Latin and/or Ancient Greek for a paid part-time research position. We are developing ways to apply new computerized methods to aid in the discovery of new ideas – a form of computer-assisted insight creation, reading, or discovery. Team members will learn how to use these new tools, but we don’t expect you to have any experience with statistics, computer science, or automated methods. Team members will work closely with Professor Gary King (gking.harvard.edu) and graduate student Andrew Hall (andrewbenjaminhall.com/), and will use the tool to help us make new discoveries about these ancient texts. Team members are also welcome to use the tool to produce ideas for their own substantive research, if they so desire. Applicants should be proficient in Ancient Greek and/or Latin, possess experience with ancient literature, and be willing to test out some cool new tools.
Interested? Please contact Andrew Hall (hall@fas.harvard.edu) immediately.

The Perseus Digital Library is pleased to announce the 1.0 Release of the Perseus Catalog.
The Perseus Catalog is an attempt to provide systematic catalog access to at least one online edition of every major Greek and Latin author (both surviving and fragmentary) from antiquity to 600 CE. Still a work in progress, the catalog currently includes 3,679 individual works (2,522 Greek and 1,247 Latin), with over 11,000 links to online versions of these works (6,419 in Google Books, 5,098 to the Internet Archive, 593 to the Hathi Trust). The Perseus interface now includes links to the Perseus Catalog from the main navigation bar, and also from within the majority of texts in the Greco-Roman collection.

This is the second in a series of workshops sponsored by the Sharing Ancient Wisdoms Project; it has been convened by Alexandra Trachsel, Marie Curie Fellow in the Centre for Hellenic Studies. The aim is to present the problems in the analysis and presentation of fragmentary texts, and to discuss the possible value of digital tools, based on the approach of the Sharing Ancient Wisdoms project. The format is for colleagues to present problems and for us all to discuss solutions!
