Funded PhD Opportunities at UW-Milwaukee in LIS

The School of Information Studies (SOIS) at the University of 
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a 2010 recipient of an Institute of Museum and 
Library Services (IMLS) Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant, 
invites applicants for the fall 2011 PhD cycle.

The SOIS grant program, entitled “Overcoming Barriers to Information 
Access (B2A): Educating the Next Generation of Library and Information 
Science Leaders,” addresses the need for new PhDs in SOIS’ three key 
areas of doctoral study: information organization, information policy 
and information retrieval. The goal of the program is to enhance library 
and information science education and to help develop library leaders.

SOIS is currently seeking applications for six funded full-time doctoral 
positions under this grant program for fall 2011. The deadline to apply 
for this opportunity is January 15, 2011.

Participants in the B2A program will receive three or four years of 
funding to cover tuition, a generous annual stipend/scholarship, 
research and teaching opportunities, resources to support their research 
and travel, and mentoring from SOIS faculty members during their studies.

For more information about the B2A program, please see the program 
website: http://www4.uwm.edu/sois/programs/phd/b2a.cfm.
