The School of Information Studies at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral
Fellowship in Information Policy for the 2011-2012 academic year.

The information policy fellowship is designed for recent PhDs who are
interested in social, ethical, economic, legal, and technical aspects of
information and information technologies with a focus on information
policy and information ethics. All applicable research areas are
encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to applicants whose
work investigates the intersections of information policy, intellectual
property, intellectual freedom, governance, power, and identity.

Along with continuing their own research agenda, the fellow will work
closely with the Center for Information Policy Research and affiliated
faculty, assist in coordination of related events, work with current PhD
students, and participate in the academic and intellectual community of
the School. The fellow will be expected to teach one advanced graduate
course related to her/his research topic in the spring 2012 semester.
The stipend for the fellowship will be $38,000 for a 12-month
appointment beginning in August 22, 2011, with a $2,000 research and
travel stipend. Fellows are eligible for benefits. The stipend for this
position may be subject to UW System furlough and budgetary policies.

Application Information:

• Applicants must be scholars who are not yet tenured and who are no
more than 3 years past receiving their PhD.
• Applicants must hold a PhD in information studies or related
discipline. Applicants who do not yet hold a PhD but expect to have it
by August 2011 will be asked to provide a letter from their home
institution corroborating the degree award schedule. Verification of
completion of degree will be required before the start date.
• Application packages must include: letter explaining research agenda,
teaching interests, and appropriateness for the fellowship; a curriculum
vitae; a writing sample; and 3 references.
• Send all application materials electronically to both Dr. Joyce Latham
(latham at uwm.edu <mailto:latham at uwm.edu>) and Dr. Michael Zimmer
(zimmerm at uwm.edu <mailto:zimmerm at uwm.edu>).

May 31 2011.
