The text of the call is pasted below, but can also be found at the application site, which is at https://t.co/kkd0YvVC6R. *Open Call for Fellowship Applications, Academic Year 2016-2017* The Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT) has opened its call for fellowship applications. This programme is for internationally renowned senior scholars who wish to spend the 2016-2017 academic year, or a semester, in residence at TILT as part of its multi-disciplinary research team to work on some of the most interesting, challenging and urgent issues relating to emerging and disruptive technologies. Applications will be accepted through April 15, 2016 eob. We invite applications from tenured or tenure-track academics with a record of strong legal scholarship from around the globe working on legal, ethical and social opportunities and challenges related to technologies such as ICT, bio- and nanotechnology, neurotechnology and robotics. Through this open call, we seek to advance our collective work and to deepen and broaden our networked community and to provide the senior fellow the opportunity to collaborate with Dutch and European peers. *About TILT?s Fellowship Programme* TILT?s fellowship programme offers some of the world?s most innovative scholars the opportunity to deeply engage with one of the largest Law & Technology research groups in Europe to develop and share ideas, collaborate, and have fun. The program encourages and supports fellows in an inviting and rigorous intellectual environment, with community activities designed to foster inquiry and to identify and expose the common interests amongst the entire team. TILT offers a highly international (some 20 nationalities) and diverse research team of 35 people, embedded in the internationally oriented Tilburg Law School, offering ample opportunities to collaborate. TILT has a highly active academic programme comprised of (bi-)weekly seminars, work in progress meetings, reading groups, ad-hoc discussions and film screenings. The fellows are actively integrated into the Law School community through various academic and social programs. Additionally, they will be treated as much like members of TILT and the Tilburg Law School as practicable for the duration of their residency. By the conclusion of their semester or year in residency at TILT, the fellow will have produced a major publishable piece of scholarly work. While in residence at TILT, the fellow will be expected to - play a leading role in researching and writing papers on opportunities and legal/social/ethical issues relating to one or more of TILT?s research topics; - disseminate the results of their study, and organizing a conference or workshop; - finalize at least one paper to be submitted to TILT?s working paper series; - collaborate with PhD students and Professors working on related projects; - identify research projects with TILT faculty; - engage in talks, and meetings with lawyers, policymakers, press and industry representatives on their topic; - write articles, white papers, and opinion pieces directed at audiences beyond academia. Fellows are invited to also contribute in teaching. *About TILT Fellowships* The TILT fellowships are tailor-made appointments. Each TILT fellowship carries a unique set of opportunities, responsibilities and expectations based on our mutual interests. The fellows are expected to conduct independent work, but also engage in joint projects where possible and desired. Important is a commitment to the intellectual life of TILT and its activities. The 2016-2017 fellowship runs - the entire academic year from September 2016 through the end of May 2017, or - the Fall semester (September 2016 through December 2016) or - Spring semester (February 2017 through end of May 2017), but other arrangements can be made. During the Fellowship, the fellow is expected to spend a significant amount of time in residence at TILT. TILT?s academic meetings take place on Tuesdays, while the Tilburg Data Science Center lunch seminars are bi-weekly on Thursdays. The fellows are asked to commit to spending as many Tuesdays (and bi-weekly Thursdays if working in the field of Data Science) at TILT as is possible. Fellowships either consist of purely research stays, or as research and teaching stays. *Qualifications* The fellowship is open for Professors or Associate Professors. The applicant should have: - has a PhD in law, Science and Technology Studies (STS), philosophy, or relevant other field to TILT?s research agenda and proven knowledge of and/or interest in other disciplines than their own; or have demonstrated uncommon academic achievements and interest for interdisciplinary work; - an international reputation in her or his field, as evidenced by top publications; - has relevant science and technology policy research experience; - has experience with or is interested in working in an interdisciplinary environment (affinity and experience should be evident from the candidate?s education or past performance in teaching, research or publications); - has excellent communication, analytical and writing skills; - has perfect command of English. *Stipends, Benefits, and Access to University Resources* The fellowship is neither a paid nor a permanent position. The fellow will receive a stipend of up to 12.000 EUR per semester (24.000 EUR per year), depending on the seniority and experience of the fellow and the amount of teaching provided by the fellow. Additionally, the fellow will receive a travel budget of 2.500 EUR per semester and 5.000 EUR for the workshop. TILT will also provide assistance in arranging some appearances in connected institutes throughout Europe. The Fellow will be provided with a work space with telephone & computer at their disposal at TILT. Also full access to the Tilburg University Library and all its facilities, including WestLaw and LEXIS are part of the package. The fellow will get a Tilburg University email address and access to Eduroam, facilitating internet access throughout European Academic institutions. Fellows must make their own housing, insurance, childcare, and transportation arrangements, but TILT does offers assistance in arranging these. *TILT ? Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society* TILT?s mission is to explore and understand the interplay between technology, regulation and fundamental values/human rights; to study emerging technologies, their impact on the individual and society; and to assess the need for regulation of technologies. Established in 1994, TILT has built a serious reputation in research, enabling the development of a leading program in Law & Technology. TILT's expertise covers a wide range of topics related to developments in ICT and nano-, bio-, neurotechnology and robotics -technologies that are currently flourishing thanks to their rapidly evolving ICT infrastructures. Topics include e-government, e-commerce, e-health, trust, technology adoption and legitimacy, privacy, identity management, liability, cyber crime, public security, intellectual property rights, networks and innovation, and governance. TILT is located at the 7th floor of the Montesquieu Building at the Tilburg University Campus. We have a fairly unique composition in being both large (35 researchers) and truly interdisciplinary (comprising disciplines such as law, STS, political science, and sociology). The academic environment is very lively, with much interaction and collaboration between researchers, sharing of ideas and constructive commenting on each other?s ideas and work. We take our open-door policy seriously, fostering collaboration and camaraderie. Tuesdays hold particular importance as this is the day when reading groups, work in progress discussions, seminars and other meetings are planned, but you will often run into spontaneous discussions and brainstorm-sessions at other times. This congenial atmosphere stimulates social and intellectual interchange. TILT is an active member of the PI-Lab (Privacy and Identity lab), a collaboration between Radboud University Nijmegen (RU), Stichting Internet Domeinregistratie Nederland (SIDN), Tilburg Institute of Law, Technology, and Society (TILT) and TNO. TILT is also embedded within the Data Science Center Tilburg and Grand Initiative on Data Science (GRIDS) a joint venture between Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology. *Tilburg University* Tilburg University is a modern, research-led university, specialized in the social sciences and the humanities.

We are generating around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, which means more than 90% of world data has been created in the last two years alone. With this huge amount of data, that we refer to as Big Data, many challenges and opportunities arise due to the size, heterogeneity, dynamism, and the speed at which this data generated. As we continue to rely on cyber technology and its services, we are facing with the increased risk of cybercrime, cyberterrorism, cyberespionage, and advanced persistent threats where bad actors are rapidly improving their attack techniques and their speed in launching these attacks. In the past, the attackers go through at least three phases before they launch their attacks (probing, constructing and launching attacks). Now, bad actors go directly to launch their attacks in one phase. Furthermore, the number of hackers and attacks are increasing rapidly more than ever before. Cybersecurity analytics for big data with its huge amount of data and its sheer breadth and coverage can provide unprecedented cybersecurity capabilities to proactively monitor, analyze, and mitigate sophisticated and advanced cybersecurity threats and exploitations. We aim developing and deploying the big data cybersecurity analytics to enable NETCOM analysts to integrate and correlate internal events, external events, and all alerts generated from existing cyber monitoring and security tools to obtain full visibility of potential threats against their cyberinfrastructures and their services. The goal of this workshop is to address innovative techniques, metrics, and behavior analysis that can exploit big data analytics capabilities to address the cybersecurity challenges facing cyberspace resources and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Big Data Theory for Cyber Security - Metrics, -Data Aggregation and Correlations of big data sensors * Big Data Visualization for Cybersecurity - Full visibility into the behavior of cyberspace resources and services - Knowledge representation and visualization of behavior of autonomic systems and services * Big Data Cybersecurity Computational Models - Map/Reduce - Data Streaming - Parallel/Distributed Algorithms * Anomaly Behavior Analysis - Data mining, stochastic analysis and prediction - Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) modeling and analysis - Sensor data collectors - Data Science and Analytics in Security Informatics * Human Behavior and Factors in the Security Applications - Privacy, security, trust, and risk in big data - Data integrity, matching, and sharing - Social impact SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION The papers must be formatted in a two-column layout up to 6 pages and must follow the IEEE proceedings format. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the broader community. Submitted papers must include original work and may not be under consideration for another workshop, conference or journal during the IWBDAC 2016 review process. Authors should submit their papers electronically following the instructions from the ISI 2016 conference web site (http://www.isi-conf.org/). At least one author for each of the accepted papers is expected to present their work at the workshop. The accepted papers from IWBDAC 2016, ISI 2016 and its affiliated workshops will be published by the IEEE Press in formal Proceedings. IEEE ISI Proceedings are EI-indexed.

Please excuse any cross postings, and feel free to contact Emily Knox knox at illinois.edu and myself jtfburgess at ua.edu if you have any questions about this project. Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Fundamentals of Information Ethics for the Information Fields This call is for book chapter proposals for an edited information ethics textbook. Fundamentals of Information Ethics for the Information Fields would serve as a guided outline for instructors to use when developing course content for either standalone information ethics courses or information ethics modules within fields such as library and information science and computer science. Since many graduate students in the information fields lack the background in philosophy or ethics needed to quickly understand primary philosophical source material each chapter author would be called on to provide a clear introduction to a single information ethics concept. Examples of possible core IE concepts include, but are not limited to: ? Digital divide ? Data Ethics ? Intellectual Property ? Privacy & Surveillance ? Information Access ? Global citizenship ? Institutional ethics ? Ethics of the organization of information ? Ethics and archival studies ? Cognitive justice Authors would be asked to contribute a scholarly analysis of the concept, including summarizing its intellectual history, noting major contributors to its growth. Once the background information is presented, the chapter author is then encouraged to encapsulate continuing issues and concerns relevant to their concept. (For example a critique of traditional digital divide narratives from the standpoint of critical race theory, or considering issues of privacy and surveillance in neo-capitalist societies) This will allow authors to contribute their own expert knowledge on the subject, while providing content to stimulate classroom discussion. In this way, the volume able to reflect a wider variety of approaches to information ethics research from diverse scholarly perspectives. This textbook will be edited by Dr. John Burgess, University of Alabama and Dr. Emily Knox, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in response to a proposal request solicited by MIT Press, with an anticipated publication date of 2017. Chapter proposals should include a 500-word abstract summarizing both the information ethics concept and approach to emerging issues the chapter will cover. Please direct inquiries and chapter proposals to John Burgess jtfburgess at ua.edu and Emily Knox knox at illinois.edu Deadline for proposal submissions is Friday April 22nd, 2016.

Other topics for papers might include but are not limited to: - The organisational politics of ICT4D - Digital resources as foundations of power in development - Reproduction and transformation of power and inequality through digital development - Digital development discourse as a source and reflection of power - The institutional logics that conflict and contest to shape digital development - How national and international ICT policies address and express issues of power The following timeline will be observed: - 25 April 2016 - prospective presenters to submit a ?paper proposal?
