The Design Lab at the University of California, San Diego is a new
initiative, established by the chancellor to become a major international
center for human-centered design. We seek a qualified teaching assistant
professor to help establish courses in human-centered design. The
University of California, San Diego is committed to academic excellence and

series but with emphasis upon excellence in teaching and other
instruction-related activities. Individuals in the position are expected to
provide outstanding teaching, as well as to engage in professional activity
(including research on pedagogy) and service related to the pedagogical
mission of the department and university. This appointment confers
membership in the Academic Senate, and, contingent upon promotion,
tenure-paralleling security of employment.
The appointment will be made through whatever department is most relevant
to the candidate, for example in Engineering, Social Sciences, or the Arts.
Experience in human-centered design is essential.
Candidates will be favored who (1) have teaching expertise in
human-centered design research, product, service, or systems design, (2)
have demonstrated superlative accomplishment in the classroom, makers
facility, studio, or other instructional milieu, (3) show potential or

activities (e.g., conducting TA training, curriculum development, creation
of instructional materials including online instruction, employ new
