We’re extending the deadline for applications for our two summer fellowship positions to April 7 2023!
We want an Education Resources fellow: “Under the guidance of a member of our governance board, the fellow will develop a curated collection or sets for the MHL website on the topic of mental health and illness. Examples of existing primary source sets can be found on the MHL website: http://www.medicalheritage.org/resource-sets/. These collections will be drawn from the over 300,000 items in our Internet Archive library. The curated collections provide a means for our visitors to discover the richness of MHL materials on a variety of topics relevant to the history of health and the health sciences. As part of this work, the fellow may have an opportunity to enrich metadata in MHL records in Internet Archive to support scholarship and inquiry on this topic.”
And we want an Outreach fellow: “The Medical Heritage Library (MHL) seeks a fellow to develop and organize the planning of the MHL’s Biennial Conference. Collaborating with the MHL President, the MHL Project Co-ordinator, and/or the MHL Governance group, the fellow will help plan a virtual conference to take place on November 3, 2023. The fellow will develop a suite of content to support the theme of this year’s conference, which will focus on LGBTQ+ health care. The fellow will help develop the program of the conference, draft the Call for Papers, help create themes, help identify and recruit speakers, work on outreach, logistics, and organization, and create a program for the conference. The fellow will also liaise with MHL partners, including the DPLA and Internet Archive, for possible programming or publicity. Working with our Co-ordinator, the fellow will launch a social media campaign for the conference.”
Please apply if you’re eligible and share this call widely among your colleagues, students, and professional networks!
