DAHL Fellowship
Recognition and support for staff and students who explore and promote digital arts and humanities.
- Are you using technology to enhance research, teaching, studying, and/or public engagement?
- Do you enthusiastically encourage and support your peers in understanding and adopting digital techniques?
- You could be a DAHL Fellow - recognised by the Faculty for your contribution to our digital transformation.
Although this is a new title, over the years we've had many members of the Faculty, staff and students, who have performed this vital role. Their impact has been significant. And in return, their careers have been boosted, especially where we are able to help them to connect what they do with the requirements for promotions, job applications, awards, and funding bids.
In addition, being a Fellow gives you access to more continuous personalised support.

Why become a Fellow?

Employers look beyond lists of training courses and grades. They want to employ people with a track record of positive contribution to the capabilities of organisations - team workers who are able to spot requirements and opportunities, especially using new digital tools, and work with colleagues to make positive change happen. We also recognise that our students are the future, and care passionately about how tech will transform the world - an ethical stance. That's exactly what being a DAHL Fellow is about. |
Academia is changing fast! Within the four or five years that it takes to complete a PhD new tools and techniques will have emerged. DAHL Fellows are keen to take advantage of this, using AI (in smart ways), databases, geographical information systems, virtual reality, and more. PhD students and ECRs are often the visionaries who can see how their disciplines will be transformed, and are able to move fast to learn and spread the skills to take advantage of new possibilities. DAHL Fellowship helps ECRs to use this work for HEA fellowship applications, and taking their first successful steps in research funding. |
Strong leadership (formal and informal) is essential for sustaining and growing academic disciplines. We always need to refresh research programmes and taught courses, keeping them relevant and ensuring we are making the most of new opportunities. DAHL provides essential insights and connections to enable this. We're not simply about shiny new tech, or following the latest hype cycle. The wisdom and critical-creative thinking provided by established academics, as DAHL Fellows, is essential to the smart adoption of technologies. In return, we help build local, national, and international reputation for quality and impact. |
In a complex and often ill-connected landscape, ever-changing as people come and go from the University, professional services practitioners are the super-glue holding the place together. And at the same time, they often have deep understanding of and capabilities for effectively operating their part of the machine. T-shaped people, deeply skilled and widely connected. DAHL's goal of providing an efficient means for busy people to keep ahead of the tech curve, helps these busy people. In return, DAHL Fellowship amplifies their work in connecting people together and guiding others through the complexity. |
