IMLS Ph.D. Fellowships at the University of Washington Information School

Are you interested in obtaining a doctorate from one of the most dynamic and innovative information schools in the U.S.? The University of Washington Information School announces the Washington Doctoral Initiative (WDI), an exciting opportunity to educate the next generation of library leaders. Beginning in Autumn 2008, the iSchool will enroll four highly-qualified librarians from traditionally underrepresented groups to pursue a Ph.D. in Information Science. An Institute of Museum and Library Studies (IMLS) grant provides fellowships for full time study and will augment the student experience through an intensive mentoring program. The partnership between the Information School and IMLS promotes student engagement in the growing field of library and information science and is part of a larger effort to increase diversity in the library and information science field.

Located in the Pacific Northwest, the iSchool is the fourth-rated Library and Information Science program in the United States and was recently named among the most prolific in the field of library and information science by University Science Indicators.

A new website at http://depts.washington.edu/wdi/schedule.htm provides information about the WDI program, the iSchool, University of Washington, and much more. We encourage you to take a look at the website for further information about the program and to see if an iSchool WDI representative will be visiting your area soon.
