The Department of Media and Information (MI) (http://mi.msu.edu) at
Michigan State University (http://msu.edu) invites applications for a
tenure-system faculty position at the rank of Associate or Full
Professor in the area of media and information policy. We seek a
visionary leader with an innovative research program and/or industry
or policy-making experience who will develop the Quello Center to the
next level of prominence, addressing critical issues of media and
information policy in a digital economy. The successful candidate will
have a strong record of obtaining grants, contracts, and/or other
types of external funding in support of research and outreach.

A terminal degree in a discipline related to media and information
policy is required, including but not limited to many disciplines in
the social sciences, engineering, and law. We value experience in
public policy or industry and a willingness to engage with
stakeholders outside the academy. Teaching will include undergraduate
and graduate courses in a vibrant multi-disciplinary environment.

The successful candidate will hold the endowed chair associated with
the Quello Center (http://quello.msu.edu) and provide strategic
direction and leadership for the Center. The Quello Center was
established in 1998 to be a world-wide focal point for excellence in
research, teaching, and the development and application of expertise
in telecommunication management and policy. It has since evolved to
policy issues in the digital economy, more broadly focused. It is
dedicated to original research and outreach on current issues of
information and communication management, law, and policy.

The Center is associated with the MI department, home to a world-class
faculty known for its cutting-edge research on the design, uses, and
implications of information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Important MI research foci include communication economics and policy,
social media, human computer interaction, digital games and meaningful
play, ICT for development (ICT4D), and health and technology. MI
faculty members also design media and develop socio-technical systems.
