“We’re Rebuilding..."
The School of Industrial Design is seeking to fill two nine-month, tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant/Associate rank. Candidates should have a strong track record and commitment to design, research, and teaching. A PhD or an advanced degree in industrial design together with a second related degree (Mechanical Engineering, Management, Human Computer Interaction) is preferable. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Earlier this year, the University administration underscored the commitment to build a stronger future in design, commensurate with a Tier 1 Research Institution, by restructuring the School of Industrial Design as an autonomous unit within the College of Architecture. The ‘new’ School currently offers a BSID & MID and is working towards establishing a PhD while currently offering a doctoral concentration in ID in connection with the College of Architecture.
Our new mandate is to build design and research capabilities in collaboration with other well-recognized Programs and Centers on the Georgia Tech campus including:
Successful candidates will be expected to develop a strong collaborative research agenda with one or more of the groups identified above; teach specialty courses in design theory or methodology; and teach an integrated design studio. Priority areas for research and teaching include: Health & Well-Being, Product Development & Innovation, and Interactive Product Design.
Interested applicants should submit the following on or before April 30/11:
