UMSI Faculty opening: Social MediaPosition description

The School of Information at the University of Michigan (UMSI) seeks a
tenure-track professor at the assistant level in social media. UMSI seeks
applicants who can contribute to the research, teaching, and service
missions of the school and the university. Broadly construed, the research
areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - online harassment
   - discussion norms and communities
   - social support
   - social capital
   - information-seeking
   - misinformation and disinformation in social media channels
   - online civility
   - content moderation and regulation

Successful candidates may employ a range of approaches, with a preference
for qualitative, survey-based, or experimental methods.  We also have a
particular interest in candidates who can use their research to promote
safe and productive interactions in social media, such as through the work
of UMSI’s newly founded Center for Social Media Responsibility (
www.si.umich.edu/research/center-social-media-responsibility).
