Dear all, (with apologies for cross-posting)
The University of Arizona’s School of Information invites applications for *Assistant/Associate Professors in Cultural Heritage Informatics.* These are tenure-line hires in our iSchool, a place for the interdisciplinary study of information. The iSchool is particularly focused on preparing students for living, thinking, and working in the digital age. Students are trained to become specialists in information management, data analysis, artificial intelligence, librarianship, social media marketing, and much more. The iSchool has highly ranked on-campus and online degree programs, with a normal teaching load of two graduate courses per semester for tenure track/tenured faculty.
We intend to hire *multiple* tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professors with records of research in creative and critical application of information and computing technology in cultural heritage to begin in mid-August, 2024.
We are especially interested in candidates who are well-versed in qualitative and quantitative methodologies as well as those with interest in academic leadership roles (e.g. program supervision, student advising) who bring a record of working on inter- or trans-disciplinary funded grant teams.
We invite applicants from a range of disciplines, including but not limited to library and information science, cultural heritage studies, archival studies, digital humanities, Indigenous studies, geography and development, and more. Our intent is to recruit scholars with research agendas that overlap with existing areas of strength in the iSchool regardless of disciplinary background.
We are especially interested in candidates with any of the following expertise:
• Curation and management of cultural heritage data and artifacts • Digital preservation infrastructures, systems, or tools • Digital Humanities, and data-intensive cultural heritage environments • Archives, access, and preservation with historically marginalized communities • Collaborative research with/in marginalized communities and/or critical cultural studies • Computational techniques in analyzing archival and/or museum collections • Convergence of libraries, archives, and museums through information technologies such as digitization, digital imaging, access systems, aggregation, linked data, and/or related areas.

I am not affiliated with this search but I am happy to discuss life in Tucson, moving into library-affiliated landscapes, etc. I will add that there's tons of interest across UofA in computing and cultural informatics to get tapped into, and our iSchool students are particularly interested in digital scholarship!
Thank you, Heather Froehlich
