Syracuse University's School of Information Studies (The iSchool, see http://ischool.syr.edu) is soliciting applications from scholars to join its renowned and interdisciplinary faculty in the area of library and information science. This tenure track position is open rank, and we specifically encourage graduating doctoral students, senior assistant professors, and recently tenured faculty to apply. The successful candidate will join our "Faculty of One" in a highly collegial environment that stresses collaboration amongst our school's faculty and with other members of the university community.
We seek colleagues who can deepen and extend our strengths in library and information science (LIS). We see LIS as a broad area which includes information organization and retrieval, reference and information literacy services, assessment, library policy, K-12 school librarianship, community-focused librarianship, entrepreneurial librarianship, and data science. Competitive applicants will demonstrate how their research interests both connect to and extend current faculty interests. The ability to obtain research grants and other external funding will be considered a competitive advantage in our evaluations, as will evidence of teaching experience and a commitment to teaching excellence. A record of publishing impactful scholarship is expected. Although rank and years of experience are open, we will consider outstanding ABDs with a strong expectation of a successful dissertation defense by August 2016.
Located at the center of picturesque Syracuse University, the iSchool is at the cutting edge of scholarship and instruction. The iSchool has seven degree programs and an enrollment of 30 doctoral students, 650 masters' students and 650 undergraduates, led by over 40 full-time faculty and 100 part-time faculty. Our faculty have recognized strengths in information retrieval, information management, library programs and services, natural language processing, computational social science, online communities and civic participation, new forms of organization and collaboration, information and communications policy, smart energy systems, digital literacy, information and network security, globalization, data science, entrepreneurship, and social media. The iSchool hosts five research centers and laboratories, including the newly created Center for Library Advocacy and Center for Computational and Data Sciences. The SU-ADVANCE program (http://suadvance.syr.edu/) provides extensive mentoring services for women faculty in STEM disciplines.
