Position Details
The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering
(HCDE) at the University of Washington seeks a top caliber researcher and
teacher to join our growing and dynamic department in 2015. We are most
interested in candidates whose research is outstanding in quality and
originality. The specialty of the position is open, though we particularly
encourage applications in the areas of Human-Centered Engineering,
Human-Centered Computing, Product Design, Research-through-Design, Science
& Technologies Studies, Infrastructure Studies, and Tangible & Embodied
Interaction. We are also interested in candidates who engage critically with
theory in their research.
Our department has a core interest in research-based
approaches to design that place people at the center of activity. HCDE is an
interdisciplinary community that incorporates a range of research traditions.
More information about our department can be found at hcde.washington.edu.
We will consider candidates from a range of disciplinary
backgrounds who use innovative methodological and theoretical approaches to
address current challenges in human-centered design and engineering. We expect
our new colleagues to be engaged with emerging research trends in their area(s)
of expertise. The successful candidate is expected to develop a substantial
program of research including peer-reviewed publications and external funding.
Candidates should show evidence of strong promise in teaching as well as
scholarship.
The department is seeking applicants for a full-time tenure-track
Assistant Professor position (9-month service period), although an appointment
may be made at the rank of Associate Professor if circumstances and

current course offerings and the individual?s areas of scholarly expertise.
University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
The successful candidate will join a vibrant faculty
conducting interdisciplinary research in human-computer interaction and the
design of sociotechnical systems. Current faculty research includes work in
infrastructure studies, human-computer interaction, research through design,
health and behavior change, visualization, computer-supported cooperative work,
crowdsourcing, computer-mediated communication, ICTD, engineering design,
scientific collaboration, emerging communication technologies, and engineering
education. The department is the home of dynamic, collaborative faculty labs,
and faculty members regularly collaborate with colleagues in Computer Science
and Engineering, the Information School, and the School of Art. Faculty members
also routinely engage in research projects with affiliates from the region?s noted
high-tech industry. Seattle is home to many prominent technology companies,
