Creative Technologies and Design
The ATLAS Institute at the University of Colorado Boulder seeks curious, unconventional, polymath tenure-track faculty members in creative technologies and design. A successful candidate will establish and lead a research group that explores transdisciplinary fields and paradigms, produce internationally recognized work, and develop collaborative relationships in academia as well as industry and the community. Applicants should have a Ph.D. or equivalent experience with a record of top-tier peer-reviewed publishing, be prepared to obtain funding to support their work, and be excited to engage with students from diverse cultural and intellectual backgrounds.
ATLAS is an interdisciplinary institute for radical creativity and invention. We inspire critical thinking, research, and experimentation that turns ingenious ideas into reality. ATLAS academic programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Science include a Technology, Arts, and Media undergraduate program, and graduate programs (MS and PhD) in Technology, Media, and Society.
We are building a faculty with theoretical and methodological versatility with the goal of designing experiences and technologies to improve life. ATLAS is a growing Institute for research and creative work, looking for people who will help us foster a culture and community of wild innovation. The most innovative research and teaching will come from faculty varied in life experiences and academic disciplines, so we seek applicants who will promote diversity in all ATLAS programs. ATLAS Institute faculty members creatively design, engineer, and apply technologies.
Promising applicants will combine engineering rigor and virtuosity with a commitment to creative and thoughtful design. We willl consider applicants working in a variety of domains, including, but not limited to:
• Everyday technologies (e.g., games, music, apps, wearables) that transcend physical and virtual spaces.
• Robotics for improving human work, life, education, and/or healthcare, including soft robotics, robotic prosthetics, and collaborative robotics for human assistance.
• New technologies for creative play and learning for families and communities.
• Controls, networks, and systems including IoT, security, and machine learning.
• Innovative visual computing, including data visualization, computer graphics and vision, augmented and virtual reality, and novel display technologies.
• Manufacturing innovation and materials discovery.
The opening is targeted at the level of Assistant Professor, but experienced candidates with outstanding credentials may be considered for Associate or Full Professor. Review of applications will begin on November 15, 2016. Applications received before December 15, 2016 will receive full consideration.
