PhD Fellowship
Florida State University – PALM Center

The Florida State University PALM Center, located in the School of Library and 
Information Studies and College of Communication and Information, is soliciting 
applications for a 2-year (5 semesters) Ph.D. fellowship beginning in August 
2013 and ending in April 2015.  This fellowship is based on the Florida State 
University campus in Tallahassee, Florida. 


The fellow will assist in an Institute of Museum and Library Services grant, 
Project PALS, which is designed to develop and improve information services to a 
group of underserved patrons  - those on the autism spectrum (ASD) who reside in 
rural areas.  The fellow will assist in project implementation of four online 
professional development modules for librarians and be expected to conduct 
research for their dissertation as he/she takes part in the project.  The fellow 
will be chosen for his/her research capacity and interest in 
autism/disabilities.  The fellow will be expected to take 9 credits in 
coursework in Communication Science and Disorders (COMSD) during the project 
period as part of their doctoral program.  Doctoral program specifics can be 
found at:
