The Department of Information Systems is a research-intensive department
with thriving graduate and undergraduate programs (http://is.umbc.edu). Our
faculty are engaged in cutting-edge multidisciplinary research, which
attracts major federal, state, and private funding.  These include research
areas in human-centered computing such as accessibility, affective
computing, CSCW, human-information interaction, information visualization,
and usable security, which candidates could either complement or extend
with their own diverse research interests.  Other major strengths in the
department include health information technology, data science, software
engineering and artificial intelligence.  The location of the university
strategically positions faculty to examine topics including but not limited
to: health, security, social justice, and education.  UMBC is within close
proximity to NSA, NSF, NIH and other federal entities, highly reputed
medical schools (University of Maryland Baltimore, Johns Hopkins
University) and the opportunities present in Baltimore City and Washington,
DC.

for Women in Technology Scholars program (http://cwit.umbc.edu/), and

widen access for groups which have been traditionally underrepresented in
careers in STEM.
