The School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin  
invites applications for full-time, tenure-track positions,  
anticipated to start in Spring 2006 or shortly thereafter. We seek  
faculty members who can bring vision and commitment to our mission to  
become a leader in the dynamic field of information studies. Rank and  
salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
The School of Information is nationally ranked among the Top 10  
programs in Library and Information Studies, and #1 in the nation in  
the area of archives and preservation. With over 20 faculty and  
lecturers, the School is home to approximately 300 graduate students  
with plans to launch an undergraduate program in Information Studies  
starting in 2005. The School has research and teaching interests in  
three areas: Information Architecture, Librarianship, and  
Preservation of the Cultural Record, all of which are seen as  
important in the education of new information professionals. Home to  
the newly-formed Kilgarlin Center for Preservation of the Cultural  
Record and host of the journal Libraries and Culture, the School has  
extensive ties with many other units on campus. As well as offering  
both MSIS and PhD degrees, we offer a joint masters degree with  
Middle Eastern Studies, certificates in Preservation Management,  
Conservation Studies, and School Libraries, and portfolio programs in  
areas such as Philanthropic Studies, and Communication, Information &  
Cultural Policy. In recent years the School has made extensive  
efforts to connect with local industry and employers through  
internships and required professional experiences for students in  
their final semesters. Recognizing the needs for highly skilled  
information professionals who can mix technical capabilities with  
humanistic and social science perspectives, the School of Information  
aims to be a leader in information studies in the next decade.
We are seeking candidates with excellent research and teaching  
abilities and a commitment to shaping the future of the school and  
the discipline. While we are open to applications in any area, we are  
particularly keen on faculty who can enhance our offerings in digital  
preservation and electronic records, management, and information  
organization. Candidates must hold a doctorate degree in a field that  
is relevant to their area of research and be able to clearly  
articulate a research agenda that fits within the School's core areas  
of focus. All candidates should provide evidence of possessing strong  
theoretical and technical skills while senior candidates must  
demonstrate a record of obtaining and directing funded research  
projects, and of mentoring new scholars.
Faculty responsibilities include teaching (a 2+2 load is normal, it  
may be reduced through external funding), mentoring doctoral  
students, serving on school and university committees, and conducting  
a program of research that meets national standards of excellence.
Applications will be accepted until positions are filled. For further
