POSITION 1: lecturer (equiv. asst. prof.) in Design Research (0.7fte, 3,5
days/week)

We are seeking a Lecturer for the “Design Research” course. We look for an
enthusiastic colleague who is comfortable with the research methods
commonly used by creative industries, and with more open methodologies such
as critical making or action research. At the end of the course, students
should be ready to conduct design research / testing / validation in
professional settings, and should also be aware of other critical,
exploratory, and art-inspired methodologies for research through design.
The candidate will also be responsible for pitching projects that students
& lecturers of the M.Sc. Digital Design might conduct with researchers from
the various research units (lectoraten) of the Amsterdam University of
Applied Sciences and/or other institutions. Currently, the M.Sc. Digital
Design already employs an Industry Liaison officer who is responsible for
developing projects together with private partners, and we envision that
the Lecturer in Design Research will have a similar task but targeted to
research entities.
We are seeking a colleague with a Ph.D. degree in a field related to design
(HCI, Digital Design, Product Design, Interaction Design, UX…) and an
affinity to research methodologies applied to the design process. Due to
the complexity of this position, we require candidates to have obtained
their Ph.D. at the time of hiring. The selected candidate must be able to
start at the beginning of Semester 2 (Feb. 1, 2021), but an earlier start
date can be arranged if requested.

DEADLINE: 15 August

prototyping tools and javascript frameworks (e.g., Node Js, Angular,
