Berkeley faculty position in Digital Security, Safety, and Trust (Open rank tenure/tenure-track)
https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04668 Dear AoIR colleagues, Please share this open rank tenure-eligible faculty position at the UC Berkeley School of Information in Digital Security, Safety, and Trust as widely as possible. Position description (Full details at https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04668) 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. Best wishes, Eric ERIC T. MEYER Dean & Chancellor's Professor of Social Informatics School of Information, University of California, Berkeley
