The Department of Media and Information (MI) invites applicants for one

The ideal candidate will have expertise in computational methods or/and

science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, ubiquitous 
computing, large language models/natural language processing, 
large-scale field and/or natural experiment, temporal modeling,

interest in candidates whose research employs quantitative or 
computational approaches to investigate and tackle disparities across 
various dimensions, including race, ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+ 
identities, socioeconomic status, disability, physical and mental 
well-being, health disparities, digital inequity, and environmental aspects.

The Department values the contribution of different disciplines, 
different ways of knowing, and different ways of doing, in research and 
creative activities that advance knowledge and transform lives in ways 
that lead to a better quality of life for individuals and communities. 
The MI faculty come from a range of disciplines, including 
communication, information science, media, human-computer interaction, 
information systems, psychology, sociology, economics, science and 
technology studies, and design to complement and create a unique 
intellectual energy. Our faculty advance theory and research, build 
technology interventions to address public health challenges, 
human-centered technology, design traditional and interactive games and 
media experiences, work with policy makers, and pursue new forms of 
scholarship. Our department is a member of the iSchools consortium and 
has a top ranked program in communication and game design and development.

The Department is housed in the world-renowned College of Communication 
Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University (MSU). Established in 
1955, as the first of its kind in the country, “ComArtSci” is now one of 
the largest and most respected colleges of Communication in the world.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral to our practice as 
communicators, storytellers, and innovators. MSU is an 
affirmative-action, equal-opportunity employer and is committed to 
achieving excellence through diversity, equity, and inclusion. We 
actively encourage applications and/or nominations of women, persons of 
color, veterans, and persons with disabilities.

Founded in 1855, MSU is one of the nation’s largest and greenest 
campuses and is in East Lansing, a college town just three miles from 
Michigan’s capital, Lansing. Michigan, the Great Lakes State, offers 
countless things to do, see and experience — from art galleries, 
concerts and restaurants to gardens, parks, and trails. You needn’t 
venture far to discover sandy beaches or metropolitan life.
