Hi AOIR-ers,


As many of you know, I’m now at the School of Information at the University
of Michigan. I’m actively recruiting PhD students to come work with me (or
my excellent colleagues). Please see below for some information about our
interdisciplinary PhD program. Please let me know if you have any questions
and I'll do my best to get them answered.



Thank you,

Nicole

 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
