Faculty Positions Open |

SIS is a charter member of the i-Schools Consortium with a one hundred four year history of pioneering the Information professions. Over the past 5 years, SIS has recruited eight new faculty with expertise in Information Visualization, Sociology of Knowledge, Digital Libraries, Multimedia Archives, Information Security and Software Engineering. The School’s intellectual foundation is grounded in the integrated study of people, information, and technology. This offers rich opportunities for interdisciplinary research, instruction, and service at the current frontier of the information sciences. The School emphasizes the synthesis of people, information and technology, and offers opportunities for research, instruction, and services spanning the needs of an information-intensive and increasingly-digital society. The Department seeks candidates whose research and teaching interests span the digital environments of contemporary libraries and information services. Collaboration with SIS faculty in other areas of expertise is encouraged. Experience with distance education is an asset. Successful candidates are effective, proactive educators pursuing a visionary research agenda. They will play a key role in charting the School’s future course as a leading i-School.
