UCL has received a Collaborative Doctoral Award from the Arts & Humanities Research Council. UCL's School of Library, Archive & Information Studies (SLAIS) and The National Archives will be seeking a doctoral student to research the changes to archival descriptions that are taking place as a result of changing from paper-based to online media. The National Archives, home to many professional archivists, will enable the student to work alongside professionals in the field while SLAIS (http://www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/) will support the research from an academic perspective. Elizabeth Shepherd hopes that the doctorate will open up new career paths for academics in the archives and records management sector. This doctoral programme offers a means for someone, perhaps a young professional with some experience in the field wishing to embark on an academic career, to develop a unique mix of skills. Further details of the opportunity and how to apply will be posted shortly. ################################################ Dr Elizabeth Shepherd PhD, MA, BA, DMS, DAS, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), RMSA senior lecturer in archives and records management School of Library, Archive and Information Studies University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT tel: +020 7679 2945 fax: +020 7383 0557 http://www.ucl.ac.uk/slais/elizabeth-shepherd/ Please note that Elizabeth works part-time.
