Digital Scholarship Fellowship
The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL) at the University of Victoria is offering Digital Scholarship Fellowships during the academic year. Digital Scholarship Fellowships support graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, new and visiting scholars at UVic, as well as staff, faculty, and librarians making substantial use of digital and/or social knowledge creation methods to do humanities or interdisciplinary research. We invite individuals from all disciplines to join the ETCL community in this way and to work alongside our team in the ETCL on relevant projects within their area of research. Please navigate to the Our Team page to view current and former Digital Scholarship Fellows.
