[ecrea] 2 Tenure-track faculty positions available at Illinois Institute of Technology Institute of Design (ID)

https://chroniclevitae.com/jobs/0000835351-01

IIT Institute of Design (ID) invites applications for two tenure-track 
faculty positions.

The positions are intended to strengthen ID's research and teaching of 
methods and theories related to the early stages of the design and 
development process. Consideration of candidates will be on an ongoing 
process with the intention of making a selection as soon as suitable 
candidates are identified. The search will continue until the positions 
are filled.

The Institute of Design, one of nine schools within the Illinois 
Institute of Technology, offers the degrees of Master of Design, Master 
of Design Methods, and PhD in Design. Founded as the New Bauhaus in 
1937, ID continues to attract faculty, researchers, and students from 
around the world who want to experiment with new theories and methods in 
design. ID is currently a community of over 150 graduate students, 10 
full-time faculty, numerous visiting and adjunct faculty, and researchers.

The Master of Design program has the majority of our students and 
teaches theories and methods that humanize technology and meet people's 
unspoken needs. Students may elect to focus on one or more areas such as 
understanding users, interaction design, communication, product design 
and development, strategic design, and systems design. The goal is to 
support the creation of innovation in both the corporate and the civic 
realms, and the emphasis is on innovation, teamwork, and building 
sustainable and repeatable methodologies, thus demonstrating the 
relevance of design in both business as well as social contexts.

The Master of Design Methods is an executive-level program for 
mid-career people who have extensive professional experience. It focuses 
exclusively on advanced methods and frameworks for preparing leadership 
roles in innovation.

The Institute of Design developed the first US doctoral program in 
design in 1992. Faculty and PhD candidates work within a general 
research agenda which includes exploration and development of theories, 
methods, and tools in the following areas: users and contexts, 
communication, interaction design, strategic design, and design systems.

While applicants with specialized backgrounds are encouraged to apply, 
the nature of the work at ID also requires faculty to have interests 
that cross into other areas of the school as outlined above and be open 
to interdisciplinary work in general. Research and writing are important 
for this faculty position. Candidates should have an international 
perspective and a keen interest in the furtherance of teaching and 
researching methods that are relevant to the future of design practice 
and the development of the field.
People who are considering applying but have questions about the 
position and criteria are invited to send an informal query.

These appointments carry the responsibilities of full-time faculty, 
including participating in governance, management of student and faculty 
programs, and curriculum development. A PhD degree is desirable. Rank 
and salary are open and will be competitive and commensurate with 
experience.
Send application materials to:
Faculty Search

Applications should include a letter describing areas of interest in 
teaching, practice, and research; examples of design and/or research 
work; examples of student work, when available; a curriculum vitae; and 
five academic and/or professional references. Application materials will 
be returned if accompanied by return envelope.
