(HCI) and design; computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and
computer-mediated communication (CMC); social computing; information
policy; network science; computational social science; digital

information science approaches to societal challenges.
We invite applicants at any rank. Assistant Professor candidates must

demonstrate the potential to achieve excellence in research and
teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. More senior
candidates should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and must have an

commensurate with qualifications and experience. Experienced
applicants may merit a tenured Associate Professor or Professor
position, depending on their qualifications.

statements of research and teaching interests, and arrange to have at
least three reference letters submitted. In the cover letter, CV, or
research statement, applicants should identify a small set of their
