[padg] IMLS Doctoral Preservation Fellowships
Title: IMLS Doctoral Preservation
Fellowships
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:
