The Center for Global Christianity and Mission at Boston University seeks a Project Manager to oversee the collection, cleaning, and organization of data to enrich the China Historical Christian Database (CHCD). The CHCD quantifies and visualizes the place of Christianity in modern China (1550-1950). It provides users the tools to discover where every Christian church, school, hospital, orphanage, publishing house, convent, etc., were located in China, and it documents who worked inside those buildings, both foreign and Chinese. Collectively, this information creates spatial maps and generates relational networks that reveal where, when, and how Western ideas, technologies, and practices entered China. Simultaneously, it uncovers how and through whom Chinese ideas, technologies, and practices were conveyed to the West. This project breaks new ground in providing quantifiable data about modern Sino-Western relations, religious reconfigurations, and Chinese Christianity. The position offers the project manager professional development opportunities in digital humanities and Chinese studies.
The Project Manager is encouraged to live in the Boston area, but remote arrangements will also be considered. This is a 12-month contract and the postdoc will be paid $53,760 and receive the regular
benefits package for Boston University employees.
