We only seek candidates with excellent research and teaching abilities

of information studies. We welcome applications from candidates who can 
enhance our offerings in any area of information studies, but we 
particularly welcome applications in the areas of:

* data analytics
* human-computer interaction
* archival studies

Technically oriented applicants with strong project evaluation skills 
and deep knowledge of relevant psychological, social, and cultural 
theories are of particular interest. Archival studies scholars with 
interdisciplinary interests in both digital and paper materials, and who 
possess the ability to offer new perspectives on archival study, are 
especially encouraged to apply.

Candidates must hold a doctorate degree in a field that is relevant to 
their area of research and be able to articulate clearly in their 
application materials a research agenda that fits within the School's 
core areas of focus.

Our school is a unique mix of interdisciplinary expertise and our 
program is continually ranked among the top ten nationally in 
information studies. Admission to our graduate-only degree programs is 
highly competitive. Our students are high academic achievers, many of 
them with undergraduate majors in the humanities or social sciences. 
With over 20 faculty members and lecturers, the School is home to 
approximately 300 graduate students. We offer a Masters and Ph.D. degree 
in Information Studies, multiple joint-degrees with academic programs on 
campus, and will be launching new joint degree programs with Computer 
Science and with English in the near future.  The School moved into new 
facilities in 2009 with extended labs and class space, and offers 
cutting-edge research and education on the human, social, and cultural 
aspects of information, broadly construed. You can find out more about
