Behaviour. CIS provides one of
the largest postgraduate programmes in Information and Library Studies in the
UK, and is a member of the iSchools group, a coalition of the world’s leading

design and delivery of public information systems and services.
We seek to recruit an energetic, highly
motivated scholar who will contribute to the research, teaching, and
administrative activities of the school in the MSc and PhD programs. The successful
applicant will have primary research interests and expertise in

information law and ethics. We particularly encourage applicants with
practical library experience.
