Opening Date: 11/22/2024 Closing Date: 01/03/2025 Job Description
The School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley, invites applications for appointment to the faculty at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank. Digital technologies have extraordinary capacity to improve the quality of human life, enrich personal and social interactions, boost economic productivity, solve large scale societal problems from mass transportation to public health, and more. Over the last decade, however, it has become clear that the human and social components of the overall systems are rate-limiting factors in those transformations. What is needed now and for the foreseeable future is attention to the security, safety, and trust dimensions that emerge when people interact with digital technologies. We seek applications from scholars who work to address this intersection directly. An ideal candidate will have some core technical foundation, but will be working with technology to address other parts of the security, safety, and trust system that depends on people and institutions as much as it does on technology. This includes areas like trusted/trustworthy algorithms and algorithmic decision making. We are looking for scholars whose work takes into account multicultural environments and issues of poverty and exclusion on a global basis and assesses trust more broadly than simply transparency or explainability. The School of Information is a graduate research and education community committed to expanding access to information and to improving its usability, reliability, and credibility while preserving security and privacy. This requires the insights of scholars from diverse fields — information and computer science, design, social sciences, management, law, and policy. The I School is home to the Master of Information and Cybersecurity (MICS) program, and partner of the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC). The I School is particularly interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity, inclusive perspectives, collegial respect, and support for underserved student populations through their intellectual voice and actions in research, teaching, and service. This commitment to advancing equity and inclusion is essential for the I School, as our excellence can only be fully realized if our entire community shares in the commitment to these values. Additional information about programs and resources supporting the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is available at: https://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/about/community . We are committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual-career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had nontraditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
