*Information Science:* The School of Information at the University of
Michigan seeks three (3) outstanding faculty candidates.
One targeted position is in Digital Environments. For that position, we seek
someone whose research and teaching interests are at the intersection of
digital arts and humanities, digital literacies, and social computing.
Research foci should involve arts and humanities scholarship, scholars, or
content and can be in a variety of areas, such as (but not limited to)
virtual collaboration, credibility, and/or digital curation. This position
is at the assistant professor level.
A second targeted position is in Information and Communication Technology
for Development (ICT4D). For that position, we seek someone with research
and teaching interests including some combination of information system
design, computer-supported cooperative work, environmental informatics,
communication studies, development policy and sociology, anthropology,
and/or a related field applicable to the design and study of information
systems for developing-world contexts. This position is at the assistant
professor level.
For the third position, we aspire to establish and reinforce areas of
excellence and seek faculty whose research interests complement and extend
our existing strengths. This position is open rank.
