… a design researcher with disciplinary expertise in areas related to HCI; for example interaction design, product design, or service design. The candidate's research should explore design in the context of HCI; and may include for example theoretical contributions, empirical studies, ethnographic analyses, and a practice of artifact making. Candidates should be prepared to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in interaction design, visual design or product design.
