The College of Arts, Media and Design at Northeastern University announces a college-wide, cross-departmental cluster of open-rank (tenured or tenure-track) appointments at the nexus of Artificial Intelligence, Design, and the Arts (Music, Design, and Creativity Studies).

We are particularly interested in candidates in these specific areas:

1) Music Technology and AI: possibilities include applied sound and visual design (e.g., data sonification); musical information retrieval; expanding accessibility of advanced creative technologies across diverse communities; applying critical creative practice to ethics, race and social justice; other innovative modes of communication through music/design and AI; and creative coding.

2) Critical Creative Practice, Human-Computer Interaction and/or Robotics: possibilities include human factors and experience in the context of HCI and/or robotics research; human-centered AI; interactive data exploration and presentation; computer-supported collaboration and learning; context-aware computing; critical computing and the idea of self, communities, playfulness, narrative, and transhumanist identity constructions.

3) Design and AI: possibilities include data visualization/data sonification; human-centered machine learning; experience design; perceptual interfaces; digital design and fabrication; usable programming and interfaces for learning and education.

These positions hold the capacity for joint appointments between a Department or School within the College of Arts, Media and Design (Music; Art+Design; Theatre; Communication Studies; Journalism; Architecture) and other entities within or beyond the College, including the College of Engineering, the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, the Institute for Experiential AI, the Robotics Institute, and the Ethics Institute. Candidates for these positions may focus on any aspects at the nexus of humanics and AI, including but not limited to: applied sound and visual design (e.g., data sonification); affective computing; informatics and embodied creativity; human-computer interaction; human-robot collaboration; brain-machine interfaces; innovative modes of communication through music/design/performance and AI; and related aspects of robotics research.

The new faculty members will be instrumental in forging new curricular paths and developing innovative directions in research and scholarship at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and in developing a distinctive profile for Northeastern’s programs across the College of Arts, Media, and Design.

Candidates must have a PhD, MFA, or other relevant terminal degree by the appointment start date.

Candidates should submit applications electronically to:
