Faculty Position
Indiana University's School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) invites applications and nominations for a senior faculty position (associate or full professor) at its Bloomington campus.
The School has a full-time interdisciplinary faculty of twenty whose backgrounds include information science, computer science, psychology, sociology, and communications. SLIS is one of the top-ranked programs of its kind in the nation, offering both a master's degree (MIS) and PhD in Information Science, along with a master's in Library Science (MLS) and a post master's specialization in Library and Information Science.
Applicants for this position should have an outstanding record in research and teaching. Essential qualifications are: evidence of sustained scholarship; influential research; dynamic teaching; national/international reputation; record of external funding; ability to mentor doctoral students and junior faculty.
Given the School's diverse intellectual character, individuals with the capacity to crystalize debate and synthesize issues will be given special consideration. Areas of specialization are not prescribed, but it is expected that applicants will be able to articulate how their backgrounds and skills would enhance the School's existing and emerging strengths in the broad domain of social informatics. SLIS is committed to exploring important trends, theories, and technologies and to understanding the cognitive, contextual and social factors which characterize information behavior at individual, organizational and societal levels. Current research foci include human-computer interaction, scholarly communication, electronic publishing, community networks and digital libraries.
Information about the School's faculty, degree programs and research activities, including the Center for Social Informatics and the Usability Laboratory, can be found at
