[Eril-l] 2024 Atkins Fellows Program at UNC Charlotte

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi everyone,

Atkins Library at UNC Charlotte is now accepting applications for our Summer
2024 Atkins Fellows program. The program remains open to current and recent
graduates of ALA-accredited Library, Archives, or Information Science
degree programs. Applications submitted by February 7th will receive first
consideration. These fellowships are designed to give MLIS students
hands-on experience in an academic library.


*Program Overview*

The Atkins Fellows program
<https://library.charlotte.edu/about/jobs-and-internships/atkins-fellows>
is a ten-week paid summer fellowship for students at the mid-point of their
Library, Archives, or Information Science degree program, or those within
one year of having completed such a program. The program is designed to
provide fellows with a work experience that is focused on
professional-level tasks, with high levels of independence and creativity.

Fellows have the opportunity to attend workshops, job talks, and local
conferences, as well as job shadow and participate in library meetings.
Participants in this program will receive $20/hour for ten weeks of
full-time work. We are excited to be able to offer program participants
joining from beyond Charlotte an additional $1500 housing and
transportation stipend to help with the cost of moving here for the summer.

*Summer 2024*

We are offering three positions this summer:


   - Digital Humanities Research Fellow
   <https://jobs.charlotte.edu/postings/53815>

More information about the positions and the program can be found on the Atkins
Fellows website <http://library.charlotte.edu/atkinsfellows/>. We are
offering an informational webinar on Friday, January 19th at 12 p.m. EST
where you will have the opportunity to learn more about the program and ask
questions of the program coordinator. Registration for the webinar
<https://charlotte-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMrcuqrpzwuGNaznZqciJIXRFy3vdBvoVQg>
is required. A recording of the session will be available for those who
cannot join.

*About UNC Charlotte and Charlotte, NC*

With current enrollment at nearly 30,000, UNC Charlotte is the fastest
growing campus in the UNC system, and Charlotte is one of the fastest
growing cities in the United States. Participating fellows will be able to
enjoy an extension to our light rail system
<https://lightrail.charlotte.edu/> that will transport you from the
university to many of the most popular neighborhoods in the city. As North
Carolina’s urban research university, we provide access to all of the
amenities expected of a city, including sports and music venues, museums
and galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries, while still within
driving distance to the mountains and the ocean. This is an exciting time
to live in Charlotte and work at Atkins Library and we hope you will
consider joining us this summer!

Please share this with anyone who may be interested!
Thank you,
Erika Boardman
