The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is accepting applications for its Associate Fellowship program, a one-year training program for recent MLS graduates and librarians early in their career. The application deadline is February 3, 2012. Between 4 and 7 fellows will be selected for the program. Applications and additional information are available on the NLM web site.
The first half of the year of the Associate Fellowship includes a formal curriculum with exposure to library operations, research and development, intramural and extramural research, development and lifecycle of NLM’s web-based products and services, and the extensive outreach and education program for consumers, special populations, health professionals and librarians.
In the second half of the year, Associate Fellows have the opportunity to choose projects based on real-world problems proposed by library divisions and work with librarians and library staff over a six to seven month period. Successful projects have led to peer-review publications and to services that have become a regular part of library operations.
Eligibility:
All U.S. and Canadian citizens who will have earned a MLS or equivalent degree in library/information science from an ALA-accredited school by August 2012 are eligible for the Associate Fellowship. Both recent graduates and librarians early in their career are welcome to apply. Priority is given to U.S. citizens.
Deadline: February 3, 2012
