The Digital Scholarship Internship Program (DSIP) at the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship (ECDS) is a paid training program for Emory Graduate Students from any department or academic discipline. Graduate student workers should expect to work approximately 5-10 hours per week at the ECDS, and will be paid at a starting rate of $15.00/hour.

The Digital Scholarship Training Program presents an uncommon opportunity for graduate students to learn digital scholarship skills, theories, and methods relating to research and pedagogy. Students selected for the program work regular shifts at the center, helping faculty, staff, and students with digital research and pedagogy-related questions. They are also paired with research projects in their area of interest and learn the necessary skills while gaining valuable experience in digital scholarship.

The ECDS program offers opportunities for advancement, increased responsibility, and substantial CV-building. The program’s training and professional development aspects are designed to prepare all ECDS students to be successful in careers within, alongside, and beyond academia through an array of opportunities such as:

• Attaining digital credentialing across tools and methods in digital scholarship, ensuring students can illustrate the skills they have learned in ECDS
• Attending digital scholarship tools and methods trainings
• Creating training materials and teaching workshops
