*Assistant Professor of Human Centered Design & Engineering*
University of Washington: Academic Personnel: College of Engineering: Human
Centered Design & Engineering
Seattle, WA

Open Date

*Oct 14, 2022*

*Description*The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE)
at the University of Washington is hiring an Assistant Professor to
demonstrate excellence in teaching and research programs in our dynamic,
interdisciplinary intellectual community in Autumn 2023.

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.

The successful candidate will be expected to expand on one or more emerging
areas within the department, including:


   - *Human centered engineering*. We are particularly interested in
   scholars whose research and teaching will deepen our department's
   collaborations with fields such as engineering education, mechanical
   engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering, systems
   engineering, environmental engineering, materials science, aerospace
   engineering, and bioengineering.
   - *Equitable 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.


Successful candidates will be expected to address the societal implications
of technology and think globally in their research. 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 are expected to develop substantial programs of
research including peer-reviewed publications and external funding.
Candidates should show evidence of strong promise in teaching as well as
scholarship.

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:
https://www.engr.washington.edu/facresearch/strategicareas. 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. Salary range is $10,000-15,000/month
(9-month), depending on the candidate's experience and qualifications.

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.

*Qualifications*
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) by the date of appointment. This is a 9-month,
full-time appointment.

*Application Instructions*
Anticipated start begins in Autumn 2023. Review of applications will begin
November 15, 2022, with applications accepted until the position is filled.

To apply, send (1) a letter of application, (2) a current c.v., (3) a
statement of research and teaching goals, (4) a diversity statement*, (5)
up to three representative papers and (6) and contact information for at
least three people from whom we may request letters of recommendation.

*A Diversity Statement helps applicants reflect on how their approach to
teaching and/or service contributes to positive social change and supports
people who represent differences in gender, class, race, ethnicity,
religious affiliation, national and cultural boundaries, national origin,
worldview, intellectual origin, ability, and other identities. We invite
you to reflect and describe your related experiences in teaching and
service and also where you stand to grow with regard to issues of
diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice, and your potential to mentor and
educate students who will serve diverse populations.

Inquiries: Stacia Green at greens6 at uw.edu.
