The University of Maryland College of Information Studies is recruiting doctoral students! We are particularly interested in recruiting students interested in the following areas:
- Archives and digital curation
- Science of science, knowledge representation, and knowledge organization
- Scholarly communication and digital humanities scholarship
- Accessible design
- Human-computer interaction
- Privacy and cybersecurity
- Computational research
- Social studies of technology
- Youth and information
- Applied machine learning, and
- Health informatics
We guarantee funding for all admitted full-time students. We also
encourage part-time students working in areas that complement their
doctoral research.
The Ph.D. program at Maryland’s iSchool offers an interdisciplinary
approach to research and teaching provided by faculty at this leading
public research university. Small classes and wide-ranging research
projects enable students to work closely with
faculty mentors to gain experience in identifying knowledge gaps,
investigating both theoretical and practical solutions, evaluating
results, and creating and disseminating new knowledge. A range of
required research courses, two foundational doctoral seminars,
and electives chosen by the students and their faculty mentors provide
both the structure necessary for individuals to become successful
researchers and the flexibility that allows them to pursue the research
areas about which they are most passionate. For
