A successful candidate will possess appropriate technical expertise and

information and/or information system design and development in a
multidisciplinary setting. Relevant professional or industry experience,
including hands-on experience with large-scale collections, is also

Qualifications include a doctoral degree or equivalent in a related
discipline (such as cognitive science, computer science, linguistics,
psychology) or professional field (information science, digital humanities).
The successful applicant will be expected to establish a high quality
research program and to teach both graduate courses in his/her area of
specialty as well as to provide service to the School and University. 

The School of Information is the most recently formed school on the Berkeley

practice that addresses the design of new genres of information, information
systems, and media, information policy and ethics, and the relationships
among information/ information systems and individuals, organizations, and
society. 

Our master's graduates are employed in corporations and start-ups as well as
government and non-profit organizations. Their jobs typically involve
information design and architecture, user-centered design, document
engineering, project management, consulting, web-based information services,
and information policy and science. Graduates of our Ph.D. program have
taken positions in places such as the Heinz School of Public Policy and
Management at Carnegie Mellon, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society
at Harvard, and Microsoft Research. We also offer undergraduate courses in
fields such as search engines, new media, and the history of information. 

Letters of recommendation will be solicited from the references of the
finalists. All letters will be treated as confidential per University of
California policy and California state law. Please arrange for letters of
