> The NYU Department of Media, Culture, and Communication is pleased to announce Research Fellowship/Scientist openings (one or two) for recent recipients of a Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Funded by government grants, fellows would work with Helen Nissenbaum (Principal Investigator) on grant-related projects. A background in social, political, and ethical aspects of computing, digital media, and information systems, including networks is sought for one of the positions; for a second, special consideration will be given to applicants with expertise in privacy and security, particularly as applied to health/medical information. Consult: http://www.nyu.edu/projects/nissenbaum for more information about projects. 
> 
> Fellows will pursue their own research as well as project-defined research and will have opportunities to work with a diverse community of collaborators at other universities. Fellows will also assist with project related administration and events. These one-year positions may be renewable for a second year. Teaching in the department may be an option (one or two courses per year) depending on availability and interest. 
> 
> Although open as to discipline, e.g. media studies, information science, STS, computer science and engineering, law, or traditional humanities and social sciences, training in philosophical, policy/political, legal, media, theoretical or technical analysis is ideal for project needs. 
> 
> Interested candidates should submit hardcopies of a curriculum vitae; a cover letter with a statement of interest explaining the applicant's fit with the position; a writing sample or representative publication, and the names, relationship, and contact information (email and phone number) of three potential recommenders. Applicants who have not yet earned their degrees must provide a letter from their advisor confirming the expectation that the degree will be in hand by start of the fellowship.
