Dear ASIST Colleagues,

Please note correct submission dates for the DigCCurr Fellowships – Dec.

The School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is seeking applicants interested in
Digital Archiving and Curation and in earning a Doctoral Degree. These
Fellowships are funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services.

The two-year Fellowships offer:

· A 20 hour a week position as a Research Fellow in Digital Curation

· An annual stipend of $19,000

· In-state tuition and health coverage

· Extensive opportunities to meet key leaders in the Digital Curation
research and practice arenas through workshops and symposia to be held

About DigCCurr II
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded project,
“DigCCurr II: Extending an International Digital Curation Curriculum to
Doctoral Students and Practitioners” seeks to develop an international,
doctoral-level curriculum and educational network in the management and
preservation of digital materials across their life cycle. This project
will prepare future faculty to perform research and teach in this area,
as well as provide summer institutes for cultural heritage information
professionals already working in this arena.

procedures found on the SILS Ph.D. Admissions page
