Postdoctoral Fellowship in Information Retrieval
School of Information Studies
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

The School of Information Studies at the University of 
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral 
Fellowship in Information Retrieval for the 2013 calendar year.

The information retrieval (IR) fellowship is designed for recent PhDs 
with research and teaching interests in information behavior, human 
computer interaction with IR systems, IR system evaluation, IR system 
design, information visualization, health informatics, or multimedia 
retrieval. Along with continuing her/his own research agenda, the 
successful applicant will work closely with members of the Research 
Group for Information Retrieval (RGIR) 
(http://www4.uwm.edu/sois/research/rgir/index.cfm ), participate in 
RGIR-related events, and consult with current PhD students. The Fellow 
will be expected to teach one information retrieval-related class in 
both spring and fall semesters at the undergraduate or graduate level.

The stipend for the fellowship will be $39,000 for a 12-month 
appointment beginning January 4, 2013, with a $2,000 research and travel 
stipend. The Fellow is eligible for benefits. The stipend is subject to 
current/future UW System policies.

Applicants for this position should bring a strong record of academic 
excellence and achievement as demonstrated through research 
publications, strong communication skills, and presentations at national 
and international meetings. The candidate must be self-directed and have 
the ability and willingness to work with others. Applicants must have an 
earned PhD or comparable doctorate in information studies or a related 
discipline. Applicants must be scholars who are not yet tenured and who 
are no more than three years past receiving their PhD at the time the 
fellowship begins.

Applications from current students who anticipate completion of their 
doctoral degree by December 2012 will also be considered if they can 
provide a letter from their home institution that corroborates the 
degree award schedule.

Applications must include:
- a letter explaining the applicant’s research agenda, teaching 
interests, and fit with the fellowship areas
- the applicant’s curriculum vitae
- a writing sample
- names of three references from academic sources

Applicants are to send their materials electronically to 
dwolfram at uwm.edu. Applications received by November 15, 2012 will be 
given first priority.
