Assistant Professor of Interaction Design
University of Washington
The Division of Design in the School of Art at the University of Washington in Seattle seeks applicants for a full-time, tenure-track position in Interaction Design starting September 2005. We define interaction design as a discipline concerned with the design of technologycentered experiences in interactive media, software, products and information spaces.
It is an inherently cross-disciplinary field that incorporates concepts from design (industrial design, visual communication design, architecture), computer science and the social sciences (cognitive psychology, informatics and communication).
This position will establish Interaction Design within the Division of Design and will contribute to a series of interdisciplinary courses that include students from visual communication design, industrial design, computer science, informatics and others. Additionally, the faculty member will contribute to teaching within common lower-division courses and in the graduate program. As such, he/she must be capable of collaborating across multiple design disciplines.
