*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.
IIT 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.
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.
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.
People who are considering applying but have questions about the
position and criteria are invited to send an informal query.
