UMSI seeks applicants who can contribute to the research, teaching, and service missions of the school and the university. For candidates with a background in design and evaluation of healthcare applications, we are particularly interested in research and teaching experience in the design, building, and testing of interactive, clinical or consumer/patient-facing health informatics applications and systems, such as mobile applications, online environments, decision support systems, or other kinds of devices or software. Such a candidate will be well-versed in modern design practices and tools, new forms of interaction, evaluation, and/or designing for health-related application domains. Candidates with quantitative, qualitative, technical, and/or design perspectives are of interest. Furthermore, candidates with expertise in relevant application areas such as health behavior, implementation science, decision making, and patient-centered health care are of particular interest. For candidates with a background in analysis of health-related data, we are particularly interested in research and teaching experience on the collection, processing, analysis and presentation of data to aid in decision-making of consumers, clinicians, insurers, and public health officials. Areas of expertise include but are not limited to medical ontologies, natural language or text processing of medical records, data quality, data mining, machine learning, predictive modeling, or exploratory data analysis and information visualization. The successful candidate engages in research interests that complement our existing health informatics expertise in such areas as computer-supported cooperative work; incentive-centered design; information seeking, sharing and use; community informatics; Internet-scale data, network and text analysis; social computing; and healthcare organizations. We are especially interested in qualified applicants whose research addresses important social problems, opportunities, and questions associated within health informatics. The mission of the School of Information is to create and share knowledge to help people use information -- with technology -- to build a better world. A successful candidate will be committed to, and will directly contribute to our goal of being the best research and teaching institution for the understanding and design of information and its technologies in service of people and society.
