Bowker" <gbowker@uci.edu>, Christopher Hoadley < tophe@nyu.edu>, Jenna Burrell <jenna@ischool.berkeley.edu> Hi Folks, There are a four openings at the School of Information at Michigan this year, none of them is specifically for someone who works on technology and international development, but given the intersection of interests, this may be something your graduating students would consider. I would like to bring your attention to two of these: Here is the link to our HCI opening for the year (it's open rank). It's a standard HCI position and specifically interested in design and building of interactive systems - but given that this has a good intersection with what a lot of HCI4D folks are working on, please feel free to have them get in touch with me if they have questions particularly about Michigan's ICTD interests, or with Mark Newman, the general chair for the search in this position for broader questions on the HCI group at our school, or anything else related to the position more generally. http://si.umich.edu/aboutsi/2012-faculty-opening-human-computer-interaction We also have an Interpretivist position open this year that may be of some interest to some of the more ethnography-oriented ICTD folks: http://si.umich.edu/aboutsi/2012-faculty-opening-interpretivism For the ethnography position, the chair is Mark Ackerman, and if you have great candidates interested who have further questions, please let me know and I can get them in touch to get an idea of fit. Thanks! Joyojeet
