CLIR Names 2019 Postdoctoral Fellows

CLIR welcomes 13 postdoctoral fellows as the sixteenth cohort in the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Fellows will work in data curation for African American and African Studies funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; in software and data curation for the sciences and social sciences supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; and in digital humanities, digital scholarship, and geospatial data curation funded by individual host institutions.

Fellowships are awarded to scholars who received a PhD degree within the last five years in the humanities, social sciences, or sciences. The program cultivates new leaders by giving highly skilled and articulate scholars broad exposure to issues facing academic libraries and cultural heritage institutions, practical opportunities to learn, and connections within the profession and beyond. Eighteen fellows from the 2018 cohort will spend a second year at their host institutions.

The new fellows will begin their program at an intensive seminar at Bryn Mawr College from July 28 to August 3, 2019. The seminar introduces fellows to issues facing twenty-first-century libraries, including data and software curation, and provides an opportunity for them to meet others in their cohort to share experiences and information. Fellows’ supervisors will also participate in part of the seminar to discuss expectations and strategies for maximizing the effectiveness of the fellowships.

Fellowship information is available at https://www.clir.org/fellowships/postdoc.
