this position, we aspire to recruit an accomplished researcher and
intellectual leader who will initiate a vigorous research agenda and
help to build our proposed new professional master's degree program in
health informatics. Our program will adopt a broad approach that
incorporates clinical, consumer, and public health informatics.
We are particularly interested in faculty candidates whose research
interests complement our existing expertise in such areas as social
computing, computer-supported cooperative work, human-computer
interaction, incentive-centered design, social informatics, large-scale
data analysis, and information seeking, sharing and use.
The University of Michigan's new two-year master's degree in health
informatics will be offered jointly by the School of Public Health and
the School of Information (pending approval). It will combine School of
Information strengths with those of the School of Public Health in

education, and epidemiology. A certificate option will make the program
available to working professionals and to students enrolled in other U-M
programs.
