   The School of Information Studies at the University of
   Wisconsin-Milwaukee is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral
   Fellowship in Information Policy for the 2011-2012 academic year.

   The information policy fellowship is designed for recent PhDs who
   are interested in social, ethical, economic, legal, and technical
   aspects of information and information technologies with a focus on
   information policy and information ethics. All applicable research
   areas are encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to
   applicants whose work investigates the intersections of information
   policy, intellectual property, intellectual freedom, governance,
   power, and identity.

   Along with continuing their own research agenda, the fellow will
   work closely with the Center for Information Policy Research and
   affiliated faculty, assist in coordination of related events, work
   with current PhD students, and participate in the academic and
   intellectual community of the School. The fellow will be expected to
   teach one advanced graduate course related to her/his research topic
   in the spring 2012 semester. The stipend for the fellowship will be
   $38,000 for a 12-month appointment beginning in August 22, 2011,
   with a $2,000 research and travel stipend. Fellows are eligible for
   benefits. The stipend for this position may be subject to UW System
   furlough and budgetary policies.
