Assistant or Associate Professor
Iowa State University invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position to enhance its growing academic and research program in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) beginning in August 2011. HCI at ISU is an interdepartmental graduate program that has experienced substantial expansion during its seven-year existence, with over 140 graduate students and 70 faculty members across all colleges. It provides an ideal environment for interdisciplinary collaboration with leaders in the field. To complement the existing strengths of the program, candidates with a demonstrated interest and background in HCI, including interface and interaction design, industrial design, usability, learning sciences, behavioral science, social media, or research methods in HCI are encouraged to apply. The research component will build on interdisciplinary work already under way in the program and at Iowa State University’s Virtual Reality Applications Center.
Position responsibilities include leading and implementing research projects in HCI-related fields, seeking external funding, teaching graduate courses on-campus and online, and advising Masters and Ph.D. level students. Attractive start-up packages are available. The tenured or tenure-track appointment will be made in one of the academic departments participating in the HCI graduate program. Applicants seeking appointment in the academic units of Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Computer Science, Engineering, Psychology, Statistics, Journalism & Mass Communication, or Management Information Sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
