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).
