Apply for a Digital Scholarship Graduate Fellowship

Call for Applicants: Fall 2023 – Spring 2024

We are currently seeking applications for a small cohort of Digital Scholarship Graduate Fellows for the 2023-24 academic year.

The Digital Scholarship Graduate Fellows Program is an annual opportunity for graduate students to develop digital competencies, learn about the field of digital scholarship, and experiment with digital tools to support their research and teaching. Digital Scholarship Graduate Fellows are introduced to important digital scholarship skills and topics, including: the command line, html/css, GitHub/markdown, project management, digital pedagogy, data management and metadata, GIS, digital archives and exhibitions, AI/machine learning, 3D and immersive digital scholarship, and more.

A stipend of $1,000 supports participation in the fellowship, including: attendance at biweekly meetings and workshops, individual work on a project or learning plan to build discipline-relevant skills, and presentation at the Digital Scholarship Graduate Showcase. During and after the program, fellows will also have opportunities to be hired by Library & Information Technology Services as Digital Scholarship Graduate Assistants and continue to develop their skills by applying them to faculty and staff-led digital scholarship projects, teaching workshops, and other activities.

Apply by September 1, 2023

We encourage applications from Bryn Mawr graduate students pursuing research degrees in any department who have completed at least one year of their degree program. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the program with their advisors prior to applying. Applicants will be selected based on their interest in the program and their potential to benefit from it: no prior experience with digital scholarship methods is expected.

Please feel free to reach out to Alice McGrath (amcgrath1@brynmawr.edu) with any questions.
