[ARSCLIST] IMLS Doctoral Preservation Fellowships

[Ellen Cunningham-Kruppa <e.cunnk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

UT Austin School of Information Recruiting Doctoral Preservation Fellows

In 2006, the University of Texas at Austin School of Information 
launched an innovative PhD Fellowship initiative to educate doctoral 
students in the broad field of library and archives preservation and 
conservation.  With a second generous grant from the Institute of 
Museum and Library Services, the School is able to offer significant 
living stipends and full tuition to full-time doctoral students for 
three years.  We are accepting applications until November 15, 2008 
for studies to begin in fall 2009. 

The primary goal of the PhD Preservation Fellowship initiative is to 
produce doctoral graduates prepared to meet the preservation 
education, research, and leadership challenges of the 21st century, 
and who will serve as faculty members in preservation, as 
preservation researchers, and in leading administrative positions in 
libraries and archives.

We are interested in applicants whose academic and professional 
backgrounds might include preservation administration, conservation, 
archives, digital libraries, digital preservation, moving image and 
recorded sound preservation, museum studies, and information policy, 
to name a few.  If you are interested in learning more about the 
fellowships and application details, please visit:
