The School of Information at the University of Michigan seeks three  
(3) outstanding faculty candidates. One position is open to candidates  
at any level of seniority and in any area that complements and extends  
our existing strengths. The other two candidates are targeted hires  
which are part of theUniversity of Michigan Interdisciplinary Junior  
Faculty Initiative. For each of the targeted hires, other  
collaborating units on campus are also hiring in related areas.

One targeted position is in Digital Environments. For that position,  
we seek someone whose research and teaching interests are at the  
intersection of digital arts and humanities, digital literacies, and  
social computing. Research foci should involve arts and humanities  
scholarship, scholars, or content and can be in a variety of areas,  
such as (but not limited to) virtual collaboration, credibility, and/ 
or digital curation. This position is at the assistant professor level.

A second targeted position is in Information and Communication  
Technology for Development (ICT4D). For that position, we seek someone  
with research and teaching interests including some combination of  
information system design, computer-supported cooperative work,  
environmental informatics, communication studies, development policy  
and sociology, anthropology, and/or a related field applicable to the  
design and study of information systems for developing-world contexts.  
This position is at the assistant professor level.

For the open position, we aspire to establish and reinforce areas of  
excellence and seek faculty whose research interests complement and  
extend our existing strengths. This position is open rank.

All candidates should have completed or be nearing completion of a  
Ph.D. in a relevant field, and be committed to working in an  
interdisciplinary environment.

The School's mission is to connect people, information, and technology  
in more valuable ways. The School currently has 37 FTE faculty; 50  
doctoral students, and 372 students in its professional program, the  
Master of Science in Information. We have recently partnered with  
other units to launch a new undergraduate informatics concentration as  
well. We encourage you to learn more about the School, its mission,
