Hello,

 

Hope you have had a great start of the semester.

This is the message I forward on behalf of Jane.

Dear Suzie, Wade, Peiling, and Carol,

 

We would grateful if you could forward the below CfP and the attached flyer to your doctoral students and your doctoral listserv.

Would be great to have some UTK applicants.

 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.  Best wishes! Jane Greenberg

The Metadata Research Center (MRC) at Drexel University’s College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) invites doctoral students to participate in the LIS Education and Data Science-4-the National Digital Platform (LEADS-4-NDP) program. This is a virtual fellowship program; applicants from any geographic location are eligible for consideration. The deadline for applications is Sunday, February 17 at 11:59 PM (EST). Information on last year’s (2018) LEADS Fellows can be found at: http://cci.drexel.edu/mrc/research/leads/leads-4-ndp-fellows/.

 

2019 LEADS Fellows will receive a $5,000 stipend, plus additional financial support (approximately $3,000) for a three-day Data Science Bootcamp at Drexel University, a National Digital Platform site visit during the summer, and conference travel during the 2018-19 academic year to share project outcomes. This project is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services' Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program to advance LIS doctoral education in data science.

 

LEADS project partners include California Digital Library at University of California, Digital Curation Innovation Center at University of Maryland’s iSchool, Digital Public Library of America, Digital Research Services at Penn Libraries, Digital Scholarship Center at Temple University, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), and Biodiversity Heritage Library & Smithsonian Libraries. Fellows will complete a virtual 10-week summer data science internship coordinated with a selected NDP site. Some LEADS Fellows may have more on-site interaction, depending on their location. The virtual model follows the NSF DataOne and Research Data Alliance model, both of which have been extremely successful. Read more about our partners and their project outcomes on the LEADS-4-NDP application page (table at the bottom of the page)

 

Drexel University and the Metadata Research Center are dedicated to building a culturally diverse and pluralistic team of fellows. Applicants must be doctoral students at an institution with an ALA-accredited master’s degree program, although their advanced discipline can vary. Learn more and apply now by visiting the LEADS-4-NDP page. 

 

Best wishes,

Jane Greenberg
