We are looking for new doctoral students who want to train with our large

technologies can enhance individual and collective capabilities and change
social relations. We use methods ranging from design of new technologies to
participant observation, surveys, data mining, and lab and field
experiments.

Information and active research in HCI and social computing include:


--Mark Ackerman

--Yan Chen

--Kevyn Collins-Thompson

--Nicole Ellison

--Tom Finholt

--Pedja Klasnja

The problems and opportunities of contemporary information use have both
social and technical aspects, so we approach our research from a highly
interdisciplinary perspective. The flexibility and scope of our doctoral
program attract students from a wide variety of disciplines. Our
world-class faculty have international reputations for cutting-edge
research in human-computer interaction, social computing, experimental
economics, digital archiving, health informatics, and more.


Admissions are highly competitive, but all admitted students receive a
generous funding package that includes tuition, stipend, and health
benefits. More information on the Ph.D. program is available on our
