    The position is expected to be offered to a tenured associate or full professor, although exceptional candidates currently in untenured positions will be considered as well.

    Strong candidates from any area related to HCI, user experience, or interactive computing are encouraged to apply.

    We especially encourage applicants with interests in novel interactive experiences and technologies, including but not limited to:
    physical computing, immersive environments (AR/VR/XR), human-AI collaboration, internet of things, human-robot interaction, and creative technologies. We also encourage applications from individuals with a demonstrated record of collaboration with the arts & design communities.

    The successful candidate will have opportunities for leadership and collaboration in the interdisciplinary Center for Human-Computer Interaction and broadly across ICAT.


    This faculty member will contribute to a collegial, interdisciplinary community with a strong tradition of fundamental and applied research and innovative teaching.
