<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies (The iSchool, see http://ischool.syr.edu) is soliciting applications from scholars to join its renowned and interdisciplinary faculty. This position is open
rank, and we specifically encourage graduating doctoral students, senior assistant professors, and recently tenured faculty to apply. The successful candidate will join our “Faculty of One” in a highly collegial environment that stresses collaboration amongst
our school’s faculty and with other members of the university community. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Located at the center of picturesque Syracuse University, the iSchool is at the cutting edge of scholarship and instruction. The school hosts five research centers and laboratories, including a newly created
Center for Computational and Data Sciences, which advances scholarship on computational analytics and data collection, processing, and curation techniques to conduct innovative research that answers important questions in the social and natural sciences. Our
faculty have recognized strengths in natural language processing, information retrieval, Internet governance and telecommunications policy, smart energy systems, digital literacy, information management, information and network security, new forms of work
and organizing, games and gamification, data science, entrepreneurship, and social media. The SU-ADVANCE program provides extensive mentoring services for women faculty in STEM disciplines.

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We seek colleagues who can deepen and extend our emerging strengths in data science. We see this as a broad area that employs large scale, often heterogeneous, data sets in the areas of: computational social
science; data curation; visualization; analytic approaches such as NLP, IR, or machine learning; developing tools and socio-technical processes for scientific collaboration, data access and data retrieval; and other possible areas emphasizing analysis and
representation of large scale data. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The ability to obtain research grants and other external funding will be considered a competitive advantage in our evaluations, as will evidence of teaching experience and a commitment to teaching excellence.
A record of publishing impactful scholarship is expected. Although rank and years of experience are open, we will consider outstanding ABDs with a strong expectation of a successful dissertation defense by August 2015.
