The School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the Full or Associate Professor level, with an expected start date of July 2014, in the field of Information Organization.
Candidates for this position should have a demonstrated record of research in information organization and retrieval.

A successful candidate will possess appropriate technical expertise and research excellence, and be committed to working on issues related to information and/or information system design and development in a multidisciplinary setting. Relevant professional or industry experience, including hands-on experience with large-scale collections, is also desirable.
Qualifications include a doctoral degree or equivalent in a related discipline (such as cognitive science, computer science, linguistics, psychology) or professional field (information science, digital humanities). The successful applicant will be expected to establish a high quality research program and to teach both graduate courses in his/her area of specialty as well as to provide service to the School and University.
The School of Information is the most recently formed school on the Berkeley campus. We are a multidisciplinary professional school. Our faculty members come from diverse fields, including political science, sociology, economics, law, engineering, computer science, media arts and design, and information science. We share a commitment to building a new field of scholarship and practice that addresses the design of new genres of information, information systems, and media, information policy and ethics, and the relationships among information/ information systems and individuals, organizations, and society.
Our master's graduates are employed in corporations and start-ups as well as government and non-profit organizations. Their jobs typically involve information design and architecture, user-centered design, document engineering, project management, consulting, web-based information services, and information policy and science. Graduates of our Ph.D. program have taken positions in places such as the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, and Microsoft Research. We also offer undergraduate courses in fields such as search engines, new media, and the history of information.
Letters of recommendation will be solicited from the references of the finalists. All letters will be treated as confidential per University of California policy and California state law. Please arrange for letters of recommendation to be uploaded directly by recommenders. Please refer potential referees, including when letters are provided via a third party (i.e., dossier service or career center), to the UC Berkeley statement of confidentiality: http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html.
