University of Michigan School of Information
Prospective faculty advisors for PhD students
We seek PhD students who are passionate about research, open to exploring the benefits of interdisciplinary perspectives and curious about how information — broadly construed — interacts with social, economic, cultural and technological systems.
Our community of more than 100 faculty members represent a wide range of disciplines. Many focus on how computing and communication technologies can enhance individual and collective capabilities and change social relations.
All PhD students work with one or more faculty advisors immediately upon entering the school; it’s one advantage of our program. Your application will ask you to select advisors you’d be interested in working with.
