Research Assistants

Pool of Assistants

In cooperation with the members and institutions of Heidelberg University, HEDIT trains its own assistants in the use of digital and analogue editing tools. This pool of assistants can be used by all HEDIT members who need support with their (planned or ongoing) editing projects.

The assistants trained by HEDIT can be requested in particular for the tasks of transcription, annotation, collation, correction and database entry. However, they can also be trained in specific areas by arrangement between the projects and HEDIT. In addition, depending on the needs of the project, they can also introduce other assistants to editorial work.

A HEDIT assistant can be employed for a maximum of three months, the pool is also not intended to finance assistants already working on projects. Rather, the aim is to create a pool of assistants who can provide editorial philological knowledge and editorial manpower on a long-term basis.
