Faculty Position Postings
2009-10 Faculty Search Assistant/Associate/Full Professor
The School of Information at the University of Michigan seeks three (3) outstanding faculty candidates. One position is open to candidates at any level of seniority and in any area that complements and extends our existing strengths. The other two candidates are targeted hires which are part of the University of Michigan Interdisciplinary Junior Faculty Initiative<http://www.si.umich.edu/about-SI/%20http:/www.provost.umich.edu/faculty/junior_faculty_initiative/>. For each of the targeted hires, other collaborating units on campus are also hiring in related areas.

One targeted position is in Digital Environments<http://www.si.umich.edu/about-SI/digital_environments.htm>. 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)<http://www.si.umich.edu/about-SI/ictd.htm>. 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 open position<http://www.si.umich.edu/about-SI/open_position.htm>, 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.

All candidates should have completed or be nearing completion of a Ph.D. in a relevant field, and be committed to working in an interdisciplinary environment.

The School's mission is to connect people, information, and technology in more valuable ways. The School currently has 37 FTE faculty; 50 doctoral students, and 372 students in its professional program, the Master of Science in Information. We have recently partnered with other units to launch a new undergraduate informatics concentration as well. We encourage you to learn more about the School, its mission, and its activities at si.umich.edu<http://www.si.umich.edu>.
