I am looking for two post docs to start this summer (July). Each will have an initial contract period of 1 year, both are 12-month, non-tenure, renewable positions with the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) and Center for Human-Computer Interaction at the Pennsylvania State University.

The second position is a project-focused post doctoral scholar. It involves carrying out and coordinating field work with community partners, and does not include teaching responsibilities. To apply for this position, go to https://psu.jobs/job/69738
