The School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS) at the University of Oklahoma, an iSchool affiliate, is accepting applications to their Ph.D. in Information Science program for the 2020-2021 cohort. The program will prepare graduates to lead in creative research and teaching in academic environments, policymaking, and consulting for corporate, nonprofit, or governmental institutions
The goals of the program are:
- To cultivate a community of students capable of conducting original, sustained, and effective research in the field of information studies that solves significant problems;
- To foster students to become catalysts for change and leading advocates who effectively address the information needs of a diverse, pluralistic society in culturally responsible and sensitive ways; and,
- To prepare students to educate the next generation of information professionals in a highly technological and information-based society.
The school is looking for exceptional students with interests in a variety of areas, including, but not limited to, information behavior, digital youth, social and cultural studies, digital humanities, information systems, and information policy. Students may pursue the Ph.D. on a full-time or part-time basis. All degree requirements must be completed within 10 years of beginning the program.
There are a number of graduate assistant positions across the university in libraries, archives, and other departments, and SLIS will work with students in finding funding opportunities.
For full consideration, applications are due no later than January 15, 2020. Additional information can be found at here.
