The University of Michigan Digital Studies Institute and the Taubman 
College of Architecture and Urban Planning invite applications for a 
joint (50/50) open rank tenure-track appointment from colleagues 
conducting leading-edge creative practice and research in anti-racist 
design and digital culture to begin August 28, 2023. This position is 
part of a Provost’s Anti-Racist Hiring Initiative led by Taubman College 
in collaboration with the Department of African and African American 
Studies and the Digital Studies Initiative and will benefit from a 
well-established and university-supported anti-racism research 
infrastructure.

Focus areas might include:

- Digital space, place, and racial identity, i.e. “thick mapping”
- Carceral digital studies, space, power, and racialized populations
- Digital storytelling that centers anti-racist approaches to urban space
- Urban design research, big data, critical speculative approaches, 
racial inclusion
- Critical digital studies, spatial justice, urban community-based 
racial justice research
- Intersections between structural racism, digital methodologies, 
Detroit and other “shrinking” cities

We seek a faculty member with a generative and projective orientation 
who can teach design studios, elective courses, or other classes that 
activate the creative capacities in our students, grounded in critical 
reflection but also linked to design and making. This position will 
serve students enrolled in Taubman College, Digital Studies minors, and 
students across the College of Literature, Science and the Arts as well 
as the university at large.

Required Qualifications

- Graduate professional and/or doctoral degree in architecture, urban 
design, or a closely related field
- Robust research/creative practice agenda
- Commitment in work and teaching to the critical-cultural study of 
digital technology in relation to power, ideology, visibility, 
representation, and cultural difference
