The National Library of Scotland invites applications for The National Librarian’s Research Fellowship in Digital Scholarship.
This Fellowship supports an exciting opportunity for a three-month period of research into any aspect of the Library’s data collections available on the Data Foundry using data science or other digital research methods or techniques. Fellows should undertake research for a significant piece of publishable work using one or more of these data collections, with a significant focus of the research project on the dataset(s) used.
Projects which align with our 2020-25 strategy, ‘Reaching People’, are particularly welcome, and projects must engage with at least one of the Library’s underrepresented audiences.
As a digital fellowship, tenure of the National Librarian’s Digital Scholarship Research Fellowship does not require residency within the Library: we welcome applications for remote ’residency’; Fellows should visit the Library to carry out engagement activities for some of their tenure, however.
