College of Fine Arts
Department of Art & Art History
PROFESSOR OF DESIGN, OPEN RANK
Location: Austin, TX
Closes: Feb 1, 2016 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time (GMT-5 hours)
The Design Division of the Department of Art and Art History at The
University of Texas at Austin seeks applications for a tenured or tenure
track faculty position at the rank of Full, Associate or Assistant
Professor with an anticipated start date of fall 2016.
Industry/professional experience in one or more of the following
specializations is expected: interaction, experience, service, HCI, or
user-centered design, and/or design methods and strategy. Area of research
specialization is open, but should complement the expertise of current
faculty in the Design Division and in the university’s new initiatives in
design, including the Design Institute for Health. Salary is commensurate
with experience.
The Design program’s broadly conceived curriculum affords BFA and MFA
students the opportunity to work across a wide range of subfields,
including graphic, object, interaction, system, and service design. The
degree programs’ flexible curricula, paired with new cross-disciplinary
initiatives in the university, allow students and faculty to take advantage
of the extensive resources of one of the world’s great public research
institutions.
The Full, Associate, or Assistant Professor is expected to be a critically
engaged, expert practitioner with a record of significant contribution to
the field. Applicants who do not hold the rank of tenured Full or Associate
Professor should have substantial equivalent experience. The successful
candidate is expected to maintain a record of research/creative activity
with a national or international profile; teach undergraduate and graduate
courses in design, ranging from introductory courses on design methods and
techniques to advanced graduate studio courses focusing on the faculty
member’s area of expertise; and contribute actively to the development and
governance of the program, department, and university. A typical teaching
load for research faculty in the Design Division is two classes per
semester (2/2)
QUALIFICATIONS
Required qualifications include a significant record of professional
achievement in the field of design, a terminal degree in design, such as
the MFA, M.Des., MAD, M.Graph., or Ph.D., or equivalent record of
professional/academic experience. College/university teaching experience at
both the undergraduate and graduate levels is expected, but candidates with
substantial professional experience will be considered. The University of
Texas at Austin and the Department of Art and Art History maintain a strong
commitment to gender equity, multiculturalism, and human diversity. We are
interested in candidates who will contribute to human diversity and equal
opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research and
service.
