The School of Information Studies (iSchool) at Syracuse
University has
several tenure-track openings for promising or established
scholars to
join its highly active, accomplished, and interdisciplinary
faculty.
The iSchool (http://ischool.syr.edu)
hosts seven research centers and
laboratories, and has strengths in information management,
information
security, virtual collaboration, Internet research methods,
emerging
networking technologies, natural language processing,
digital literacy,
information retrieval, digital libraries, and
telecommunications policy
areas, among others.
Our 40 full-time and more than 100 part-time faculty members
seek
entrepreneurial scholars whose interests complement and mesh
with those
of current faculty members to start in either Fall 2008 or
Spring 2009.
To complement our research strength in the social and
organizational
dimensions of IT, we seek scholars who have a track record
in spanning
disciplinary boundaries in the study of socio-technical
systems. For
instance, we are seeking scholars who can contribute to
research and
teaching in the area of cyberinfrastructure, as defined by
the National
Science Foundation's blue ribbon panel. Cyberinfrastructure
refers to
the various kinds of information infrastructure that
contribute to
ubiquitous, comprehensive digital environments. We are
particularly
interested in individuals who have the potential to obtain
grants and
other external funding or an established record of doing so
and who
strengthen one of our existing research areas. Individuals
with teaching
experience and who can provide evidence of a strong
commitment to
teaching excellence are preferred.
Rank and experience level of these positions are open. A
completed Ph.D.
in a relevant field of study or the expectation of
completion of the
Ph.D. by August 2008 is required. Responsibilities will be
appropriate
for rank, with the typical allocation of two courses per
semester,
research activities, advising, participation in School and
University
committees, and other duties as assigned by the dean.
Submit a curriculum vita; a statement of research and
teaching
interests; research writing sample(s); teaching portfolio or
other
evidence of teaching experience; and at least three
references to
www.sujobopps.com. The Job Number is 024017. Questions may
be directed
to the search chair at ijobopps syr.edu.
Applications will be reviewed on a continuous basis until
the candidates
are identified. Those applications submitted by May 15,
2008, will be
given priority as we would like to move quickly.
Syracuse University is an Affirmative Action/Equal
Opportunity Employer.
