[Asis-l] FW: AHRC Doctoral Studentship (3 July deadline)

[Eric T. Meyer]

Please circulate widely to any potentially interested students you know.

Below is an advertisement for an AHRC doctoral studentship available at the
Oxford Internet Institute starting this fall.  The studentship provides full
fees and maintenance for eligible UK students, or full fees for eligible EU
students.  
 
The area of study is Librarianship, Archives and Records Management, which
is broadly defined and includes information communities and the use and
management of information in all forms and in all contexts; all aspects of
archive administration and records management; all aspects of information
policy in the information society; information systems; systems thinking;
systems development; information retrieval (including interfaces and
gateways); preservation and conservation of recorded information including
Film archiving. The Council does not support courses in Computer Science, as
such courses focus on engineering and mathematics; these are areas which do
not fall within the Council's subject domain.

Note the very short deadline for submitting a complete application for the
doctoral programme at Oxford, with all applications due July 3.

Thank you,

Eric
