Please circulate widely to any potentially interested students you know.
Attached (below) is an advertisement for an AHRC doctoral studentship available at the Oxford Internet Institute starting this fall. The studentship provides full fees and maintenance for eligible UK students, or full fees for eligible EU students.
The area of study is Librarianship, Archives and Records Management, which is broadly defined and includes information communities and the use and management of information in all forms and in all contexts; all aspects of archive administration and records management; all aspects of information policy in the information society; information systems; systems thinking; systems development; information retrieval (including interfaces and gateways); preservation and conservation of recorded information including Film archiving. The Council does not support courses in Computer Science, as such courses focus on engineering and mathematics; these are areas which do not fall within the Council's subject domain.
Note the very short deadline for submitting a complete application for the doctoral programme at Oxford, with all applications due July 3.
Thank you,
