    Dear all,


    The University of Arizona School of Information welcomes applicants for the Ph.D in Information program. Accepted students will be assured of at least four years of funding, covered tuition, and opportunities for additional support. The School of Information is broadly interdisciplinary, but for this coming year’s doctoral student cohort, particular preference will be given to applicants with research interest in machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, text retrieval, data science, computational art, mobile computing, mediated interaction, social networks, or computational social science. Preferred areas of interest include eHealth, astronomy, eCommerce, and the environment.


    At the University of Arizona and in the School of Information, we value our inclusive climate because we know that diversity in experiences and perspectives is vital to advancing innovation, critical thinking, solving complex problems, and creating an inclusive academic community. We translate these values into action by seeking a wide range of applicants to include those from underrepresented populations.
