Call: KB Researcher-in-Residence (RiR) 2026

Are you an early career data scientist, social scientist, computer scientist, humanities scholar, or simply put, a researcher interested in working with our digital collections, which includes over 130 million pages of digitized text, born-digital content such as the web collection, and ground-truth sets? Then we’re looking for you! 

The KB, National Library of the Netherlands, is seeking proposals for its fully paid Researcher-in-Residence program in 2026. This program offers a unique chance for early career researchers of all disciplines to work on-site in the library with the Digital Scholarship team and using the KB collections.

There will be two Researcher-in-Residence positions in 2026, starting Q1 and Q3, which will be carried out at the Research department of the KB. You will be assisted by experts at the KB, including research software engineers and collection specialists. The output of the project, usually a dataset or tool prototype, will be hosted on the KB Lab and is ideally beneficial for a larger (scholarly) community.

Deadline: 13 October 2025
