The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) at the
University of Washington is hiring for an Assistant Professor position with
a focus on equity & engineering to provide excellence in teaching and
research programs in our dynamic, interdisciplinary intellectual community
in Autumn 2024.

HCDE is a vibrant, welcoming, and engaged interdisciplinary community that
incorporates a range of intellectual traditions. Successful candidates will
join a dynamic faculty conducting research in the design and engineering of
sociotechnical systems broadly defined. We offer BS, MS, and PhD degrees
and serve as a founding contributor to three interdisciplinary graduate
degrees. Candidates will teach undergraduate and graduate courses and will
supervise doctoral students. The yearly teaching load is three courses (one
per quarter) plus supervision of for-credit directed research groups.
Teaching opportunities will be based on our current course offerings and
the individual’s areas of scholarly expertise. More information about our
department can be found at http://www.hcde.washington.edu
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.hcde.washington.edu/__;!!OToaGQ!tAvo5AYo2eVlvmWvFn8cWgvvKACQ-8WWKxd7LsR7k5j8Pvs4UYjnl-MsAFaLrdtIVRs2Fkdk5nJ_H-VRvHir_Gg5ZQ$>
.

The successful candidate will be expected to expand on an emerging area
within the department: Equity and Engineering. We are particularly
interested in scholars whose work lies at the intersection of agendas
oriented toward addressing societal inequities and work in human centered
design and engineering, but all qualified candidates are welcome to apply.
We especially encourage candidates whose research engages Black Studies,
Indigenous Studies, and related strands of decolonial thought and/or
centers the intellectual genealogies of Black and Indigenous groups.
Successful candidates will be expected to address the societal implications
of technology.

Successful candidates are expected to develop substantial programs of
research including peer-reviewed publications and external funding.

All UW faculty engage in teaching, research and service. The College of
Engineering regularly sets visions for strategic research areas; current
areas can be found here:

Faculty members also routinely collaborate with colleagues across campus
and with affiliates from the region’s noted high-tech industry. Seattle is
a culturally diverse urban center with growing racial, ethnic and immigrant
communities. It is also home to many prominent technology companies, along
with a robust startup and global health community. The University of
Washington is building a culturally diverse faculty and encourages
applications from women and minority candidates.

UW faculty enjoy outstanding benefits. The base salary range for this
position will be $10,000-15,000 per month, commensurate with experience and
qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing
wage determination. Review of applications will begin November 15, 2023,
with applications accepted until the position is filled.





Qualifications

Candidates should show evidence of strong promise in teaching as well as
scholarship. Applicants for this Assistant Professor (tenure-track)
position should be recent or soon to graduate PhDs and must have earned a
doctorate (or foreign equivalent) in a relevant field by the date of
appointment. This is a 9-month, full-time appointment.

Application Instructions

Appointment is expected to begin in Autumn 2024. Review of applications
will begin November 15, 2023. To apply, send (1) a letter of application,
(2) a current c.v., (3) a statement of research, (4) a statement of
teaching goals, (5) a diversity statement*, (6) up to three representative
papers and (6) contact information for at least three people from whom we
may request letters of recommendation.

Inquiries: Stacia Green at greens6 at uw.edu.

Our department's social justice mission leads us to invest in recruiting
colleagues who in their scholarship, teaching, and service demonstrate
experience with, knowledge of, and sensitivity to the needs of culturally
diverse and oppressed populations. As a program with a core mission of
social justice and a deeply diverse student body, we seek candidates with a
demonstrated commitment to work with marginalized communities and with
students holding a range of worldviews. In accord with the University’s
expressed commitment to excellence and equity, contributions in scholarship
and research, teaching, and service that address diversity and equal
opportunity may be included among the professional and scholarly
qualifications for appointment and promotion.
