Opportunity for Graduate Fellowship: Open Scholarship Commons Community Fellows Workshop Series (Due 12/15/23)
Posted: 12/7/2023 ()
The Open Scholarship Commons Community Fellows Workshop Series is a paid fellowship opportunity for graduate students underrepresented in the field of open scholarship. The goal of this Fellowship is to lift up students as experts in this field and create opportunities for peer to peer learning by offering student-led workshops. Equity is a core value of the UW Libraries Open Scholarship Commons, and this Fellowship, funded by the UW Diversity Council, aims to support the expertise and leadership of underrepresented students in the field of open scholarship.
Applicants should have a concrete idea for an open scholarship workshop, but will receive support on refining their idea and developing their workshop from mentors at UW Libraries’ Open Scholarship Commons and the eScience Institute. Fellows will be compensated at an hourly rate of $35/hour for up to 20 hours (for a maximum compensation of $700). Twenty hours is also meant to give a realistic sense of how much time Fellows will be expected to invest in this project. Fellows will be accepted Fall quarter, workshops will be developed during Winter quarter, and workshops will be held for the public (virtual, in-person, or hybrid) in Spring quarter. These final workshops will be recorded and made available on the Open Scholarship Commons website.
This Fellowship program is funded by a UW Diversity Council Diversity Seed Grant and co-administered by the Libraries Open Scholarship Commons and the eScience Institute. This fellowship is structured as a student employee position and requires that you provide proof of eligibility to work in the United States, and that you meet student employee enrollment criteria winter and spring quarter. International students on an F-1 or J-1 visa are encouraged to apply.
