TENURED, OR TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES

The School of Communication, Information and Library Studies (SCILS) at
Rutgers University seeks an outstanding researcher/scholar, to be
appointed at any Professorial rank, to join the large digital library
group in the Department of Library and Information Science. We are
seeking an individual who is comfortable working in the fast-moving,
interdisciplinary and competitively-funded world where library and
information science and computer science meet. This individual might
join ongoing research efforts centered on personalization,
collaboration, or extension of digital methods to diverse libraries, or
might initiate a new field of research at Rutgers, such as Medical
Informatics. Level of appointment and compensation will be commensurate
with experience and qualifications. A completed Doctoral degree is required.

The Department of Library and Information Science (LIS) is one of three
Departments in SCILS (the others are Communication, and Journalism/Media
Studies), all of which are closely linked with one another, leading to
an exciting and highly interdisciplinary environment. The LIS Department
has an undergraduate major in Information Technology and Informatics and
a Masters in Library and Information Science (offered both in on-campus
and online modes), and contributes to the SCILS-wide Masters in
Communication and Information Studies and the Ph.D. Program in
Communication, Information and Library Studies. Candidates can expect
their teaching responsibilities to be at any or all of undergraduate,
masters and Ph.D. levels.

Members of the LIS Department collaborate in teaching and research with
colleagues not only in SCILS, but in units throughout the University,
including the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS), the
Department of Computer Science, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and
Computer Science (DIMACS), the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning
and Public Policy, the Center for Cultural Analysis, and the Food Policy
Institute. SCILS, and Rutgers University in general, strongly encourage
and support interdisciplinary collaborations, leading not only to the
establishment of new, cutting-edge research and teaching initiatives,
but also to a stimulating and even entertaining intellectual environment.

The LIS Department is typically rated among the five or six best
departments or schools in North America in Library and Information
Science, by peer assessment, publication, citation, and other influence
measures. We are seeking to appoint someone who will help us to not only
maintain, but exceed this level of recognition, ensuring leadership in
teaching, research and service in the Information Age.
Applications, including a statement of interest in the position, names
and contact information of three references, and a curriculum vitae,
should be sent, preferably as pdf attachments, to:

Chair, LIS Search Committee
lis-search at scils.rutgers.edu

Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

Rutgers University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity employer
committed to expanding the educational diversity of its faculty and
students and encourages applications from a broad variety of candidates.
