Located a short train ride from New York City and Silicon Alley, the 
Department of Information Systems, in the College of Computing Sciences, 
at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) seeks applications for 
multiple full-time, tenure-track faculty positions (Assistant, Associate 
and Full Professor / Department Chair), for Fall 2013.

We seek candidates with excellent research and teaching abilities in 
Human Centered Computing (HCC) who are committed to actively engaging in 
interdisciplinary research.  We encourage applications from any area of 
HCC including but not limited to: Social Computing, Digital 
Everyware/Ubicomp, CSCW, Assistive Technologies and Usable Privacy and 
Security. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in UXD, 
UX-Research, and the building and testing of innovative interactive 
systems, and grants. Faculty and student entrepreneurship is encouraged 
and new hires will have the opportunity advise Ph.D. candidates and to 
work with start-ups housed in NJIT's Enterprise Development Center.

U.S. News & World Report's 2012 Guide to America's Best Colleges ranks 
NJIT among the top tier of national research universities. NJIT is the 
largest technical State University in the NY-NJ tri-state area and is 
undergoing rapid transformation.  The university, located at University 
Heights Newark is at the center of large urban renewal project, and 
under the leadership of a newly appointed President and Provost. The 
College of Computing Sciences is current engaged in a Dean Search. 
Information Systems hired four faculty in the past year as part of the 
university's continuing strategic growth and we are looking to 
significantly strengthen our efforts in HCC in the coming years. As 
such, we expect incoming HCC faculty to have a significant role in 
shaping the future of the department, college and university.

We benefit from our close proximity to midtown Manhattan (30 minutes by 
train) and the highly livable communities of northern New Jersey. The 
area has a high concentration of business and government organizations, 
with many opportunities for field research, collaboration and consulting.
