Dear Colleagues,

The Faculty of Design at Swinburne University of Technology is adding
several new positions this year to meet the needs of a growing student
body and our increasing research intensity. We are now adding one
position each in communication design, interior design, and digital
media design, and two positions in film and television.

At Swinburne University of Technology, we focus on design as thought
and action for solving problems and imagining new futures. We emphasize
strategic design to create value through innovative products and
services. 

Creativity, critical inquiry, and ethics guide the Swinburne philosophy
of respectful design. We value understanding, empathy, and appreciation
for people, for nature, and for the world we shape through design. Our
designers, researchers, and graduates serve business, industry, and the
public sector. We base our actions and choices on sustainability
principles for positive social and economic outcomes. 

We emphasize rigorous research for effective results in today’s
challenging design profession. All new appointments to the academic
staff have a PhD degree. Teaching, creative practice, and research are
the foundation of robust professional education. We expect senior staff
to have a strong research profile, and we expect junior staff to
demonstrate the potential for innovative research. Our emphasis
published research enables us to share what we do with Australia and
with the world.

We describe our faculty culture as: equitable, respectful, creative,
innovative, resilient, vibrant, and inspired. We state our focus in four
words: “Design respectfully, grow responsibly.”
