We are actively recruiting for a permanent faculty position* within the School of Computing, at Newcastle University, UK. The position is for a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (equivalent to US Assistant Prof) in Interaction Design or Ubiquitous Computing.

 

The position is aligned with Open Lab, one of the school’s largest research groups.  Open Lab is a world-leading Interaction Design and Ubiquitous Computing research group with a reputation for cutting edge research in the human-centred design of digital technologies, and is comprised of a team of 70+ researchers (including 7 academic staff). Open Lab is at the forefront of research in the area of digital social innovation and currently hosts an EPSRC Digital Economy Research Centre (DERC) and Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Digital Civics. The lab is highly interdisciplinary, and supports a broad portfolio of collaborative research. Alongside conducting and leading pioneering research, the successful applicant will contribute to the development and delivery of a new portfolio of masters level interaction design/ubiquitous computing courses.

 

We are keen to diversify the Lab’s strengths, and welcome applicants with an excellent record of scholarship in any area relevant to HCI, but are particularly keen to encourage applications from people with research related to the following areas:

 

• Sustainable HCI – interaction design to support environmental and/or social sustainability
• Human-Building Interaction – human responses to smart embedded systems and/or sensor-based platforms in the built environment
• AI/Machine Learning for human centred systems
• Collaborative technologies / participatory media platforms
