particularly welcome applications in the areas of:

* data analytics
* human-computer interaction
* archival studies

Technically oriented applicants with strong project evaluation skills 
and deep knowledge of relevant psychological, social, and cultural 
theories are of particular interest. Archival studies scholars with 
interdisciplinary interests in both digital and paper materials, and who 
possess the ability to offer new perspectives on archival study, are 
especially encouraged to apply.

Candidates must hold a doctorate degree in a field that is relevant to 
their area of research and be able to articulate clearly in their

facilities in 2009 with extended labs and class space, and offers 
cutting-edge research and education on the human, social, and cultural 
aspects of information, broadly construed. You can find out more about
