*Call for Doctoral Consortium*

The 3rd annual ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction and 
Retrieval (CHIIR 2018) (pronounced “cheer”), which will take place 
during March 11-15, 2018 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA, is a forum 
for the dissemination and discussion of research on the user-centered 
aspects of information interaction and information 
retrieval. CHIIR focuses on elements such as human involvement in search 
activities, and information seeking and use in context.

The CHIIR Doctoral consortium, held in conjunction with the main 
conference, provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present and 
discuss their research with senior researchers and other doctoral 
students in a seminar format. The Doctoral consortium focuses on 1) 
advising students regarding current critical issues in their research, 
and 2) making students aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their 
research as viewed from different perspectives. Doctoral consortium is 
targeted at students in their second or third year of a year PhD 
program. At minimum, students ought to have formulated their research 
problem, theoretical framework and suggested methods, and at maximum, 
students will have just submitted some of the early PhD work for 
publication.
