Cambridge Centre for Assistant Professor/Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
Department of Computer Science and Technology, West Cambridge
The Department of Computer Science and Technology is seeking to recruit a new faculty member at the Assistant Professor/Associate Professor level who can contribute to research and teaching in the area of Human-Computer Interaction.
We encourage applications from candidates having broadly interdisciplinary expertise, and a strong desire to contribute to human-centric design research and teaching at all levels from undergraduate study to doctoral research.
Cambridge has hosted a respected expert concentration in HCI since the birth of the discipline, at centres including the MRC Applied Psychology Unit, Xerox EuroPARC, and Microsoft Research Cambridge. As a small city where collaboration takes place by bicycle journeys rather than freeways, both casual and formal interaction is routine. In recent years, rapid expansion of University groups in Intelligent Interactive Systems, Digital Humanities, and Human-Inspired AI has created a dynamic set of opportunities for HCI. The most distinctive of these comes from the historical traditions of the "collegiate" university, shared with Oxford, where faculty from different disciplines routinely work alongside colleagues who are expert in every possible field of academic inquiry.
