The Fellowship will require approximately 4 hrs / wk over a 12 week term. The value of the award will be $750.
What you will learn, and what you will do:
You do not need to be technology-savvy in order to apply for or hold this Fellowship; the whole point is to help you develop your digital skills by working on real research in the context of projects being pursued by Faculty, and to help Faculty move their own research projects forward. There may be opportunities for working with museums or members of the broader community on various projects.
Duties
Students who hold this Fellowship will be required to blog weekly about their research during their tenure as Fellows. When the XLab holds events, Fellows are normally expected to attend and participate.
