Please excuse duplicate postings: 



The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is accepting applications for its
Associate Fellowship program, a one-year training program for recent MLS
graduates and librarians early in their career. 
  
In the first half of the year, a formal curriculum offers exposure to
library operations, research and development, intramural and extramural
research, development and lifecycle of NLM's web-based products and
services and the extensive outreach and education program reaching
consumers, special populations, health professionals and librarians. In
the second half of the year, Associate Fellows have the opportunity to
choose projects based on real-world problems proposed by library
divisions and work with librarians and library staff over a six-seven
month period. Successful projects have led to peer-review publications
and to services that have become a regular part of library operations. 
  
The September through August program also offers professional
development and an introduction to the wider world of health sciences
librarianship that may include: 
  

*	Supported attendance at national professional conferences, often
including the Medical Library Association's annual meeting, the American
Medical Informatics Association annual meeting and others 
*	Spring Practicum at a health sciences library in the contiguous
United States 
*	Additional brown bags, seminars, field trips and learning
opportunities available on the National Institutes of Health campus 
*	Opportunities to meet and interact with senior management at the
National Library of Medicine 
*	Experienced preceptors from National Library of Medicine staff 
*	Potential to compete for a second year fellowship at a health
sciences library in the United States 

  
The Fellowship offers: 

*	A stipend equivalent to a U.S. Civil Service salary at the GS-9
level ($50,408 in 2009) 
*	Additional financial support for the purchase of health
insurance 
*	Some relocation funding 
*	Assistance in finding housing

  
Who is eligible? 
All U.S. and Canadian citizens who will have earned a MLS or equivalent
degree in library/information science from an ALA-accredited school by
August 2010.  Both recent graduates and librarians early in their career
are welcome to apply.  Priority is given to U.S. citizens. 
  
Applications and additional information are available on the Web at
www.nlm.nih.gov/about/training/associate/
<http://www.nlm.nih.gov/about/training/associate/> .  Application
deadline is February 5, 2010.   Between 4 and 7 fellows will be selected
