THE DEPARTMENT OF LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE seeks faculty candidates 
who wish to take the future of information and information applications 
in their hands.  Our department's mission is to connect people with 
information and to improve their lives by transforming information 
technologies and facilitating the evolution of the socio-cultural 
systems they support.  Rutgers LIS faculty members are defining an 
evolving field in an interdisciplinary environment, close to the world's 
largest media and information centers.  New faculty may be invited to 
affiliate with one of our three active LIS research centers: The Center 
for International Scholarship in School Libraries (CISSL), The Knowledge 
Institute (KI), and the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in 
Information Privacy and Security (ISIPS) or to join other research 
centers within the school.  Areas of particular interest to the 
department include (but are not limited to):

.    Interaction with information at individual, social, and cultural 
levels;
.    Information access in digital environments;
.    Human computer interaction;
.    Children, information, schools, and libraries.

THE SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION at Rutgers, The State 
University of New Jersey, invites applications from scholars who value a 
climate of cross-departmental collaboration and interdisciplinary 
commitment to the development of discoveries and new ideas in response 
to local and global challenges.  Global media and democracy, social 
media interaction and collaborative design, and health and wellness are 
school-wide initiatives recently introduced.  The school embraces 
Rutgers' goals of diversification of its communities and programs and 
encourages applicants who would address these goals.  The school offers 
six degree-granting programs of study and is home to more than 50 
faculty within its three academic departments---Communication, 
Journalism and Media Studies, and Library and Information Science.

SUBMISSIONS: Applications should be submitted in electronic format.  
Include letter of application, CV, up to three representative 
publications, and names and contact information of three references.  
The applicant's program of research should complement the research foci 
of current faculty.  Senior level applicants should provide integrative 
leadership in research, instruction, and external funding.  Letter of 
application should address these points, and clearly articulate the 
candidate's fit to departmental and school-wide research interests. 
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in hand or firmly expected by August
