## What is the fellowship?
This fellowship is a partnership between Princeton University Library (PUL) and NCCU SLIS to provide early career support for recent NCCU SLIS graduates.
This fellowship is a career development opportunity for recent graduates from Library and Information Science Programs at [minority serving institutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority-serving_institution).

For 2024, PUL is hiring two positions, one in Software Operations and one in Electronic Resources Management.
These are both two year positions with full salary and benefits. Both positions are fully remote, and all equipment will be provided.
For 2025, Princeton University Library (PUL) is hiring one position, which will work with our Research Data and Scholarship Services Team, learning about research data management and focusing on writing automated software tests. You do not need to already know about software testing or research data. We are hiring for interest and aptitude, not existing skill set.
This is a two year full-time position with full salary and benefits, and our team will work with you to develop your skill set, build your professional network, and launch your post-fellowship career.

The position is fully remote, and all equipment will be provided.
