One of my friend completed his PhD in library and information science. At present, he is looking for a post doctoral fellowship in the same area.
If anyone is having any information on the above mentioned issue, kindly let me know.
Congratulations to your colleague.
It would be helpful if you were to indicate whether or not your friend is seeking a funded post-doc or whether he has access to governmental or other funds to support any research initiative.
Also a statement of any geographical constraints ( or not) would probably be helpful.
Most universities have details of procedures and opportunities available at this level via their Graduate School webpages (or similar titles)
Hope this is helpful.
Dear Judith
I m grateful to you for answering my query. Conspicuously, he is seeking a funded post-doc and he did not have any access to governmental funds or any other funds.
Notably, geographical constraint is not there. He can go anywhere.
If you have any kind of information about the universities running post-doc in library and information science, kindly let me know.
Regards
Daud Khan
I am not aware of any central database for such things, so your friend should make inquiries of the leading LIS Departments in each country of interest by email. He should indicate what sorts of subject areas within LIS he would be interested in researching. He should also consider Universities that specialise in bibliometrics, such as Leuven, if this is a possible area of interest to him. He should go to bailer.ac.uk for a list of UK LIS Departments, with contact details. No doubt there are similar country-based lists for other geographic areas.
Dear Daud,
In addition to the above I think Tom Wilson based at Boras university Sweden has created a listing of global LIS departments under the aegis of the e-journal Information Research.
You might also try the iSchool website to see what (if anything) they have to offer.
Regards
Judith

I have read all the answers above and all are useful for me. Currently I am also seeking for an funded opportunity for my Post Doc.
In India UGC Provide fund and other facility for PDF. Also ICSSR also provide scholarship for the Post Doctoral Research in LISc
China could be one of the turning points … as I know, Chinese universities are recruiting a large number of postdoc researchers in every year and paying attractive remuneration. Potential candidates should figure it out.
Glad to hear, and its a fact that China is going to be a huge knowledge corridor in future.
