*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN HUMAN-CENTERED COMPUTING*

The Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech (www.cs.vt.edu 
<http://www.cs.vt.edu/>) seeks applicants for a tenure-track assistant 
professor position in human-centered computing.  Exceptional candidates 
at higher ranks may also be considered. Strong candidates from any area 
related to human-computer interaction, user experience, or interactive 
computing are encouraged to apply. We especially encourage applicants 
with interests in novel interactive experiences and 
technologies—including immersive environments (virtual reality and 
augmented reality), multi-sensory displays, multi-modal input, 
visualization, visual analytics, human-robot interaction, game design, 
and creative technologies.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage in 
transdisciplinary research, curriculum, and outreach initiatives with 
other university faculty working in the Creativity & Innovation (C&I) 
Strategic Growth Area, one of several new university-wide initiatives at 
Virginia Tech (see provost.vt.edu/destination-areas 
<http://provost.vt.edu/destination-areas>). The C&I Strategic Growth 
Area is focused on empowering partners and stakeholders to collaborate 
on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship efforts that transcend 
disciplinary boundaries. Faculty working together in this area comprise 
a vibrant ecosystem that melds the exploration of innovative 
technologies and the design of creative experiences with best practices 
for developing impact-driven and meaningful outcomes and solutions.  
Candidates with demonstrated experience in interdisciplinary teaching or 
research that aligns with the C&I vision 
(provost.vt.edu/destination-areas/sga-overview/sga-creativity.html 
<http://provost.vt.edu/destination-areas/sga-overview/sga-creativity.html>) 
are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will also 
have opportunities for collaboration in the interdisciplinary Center for 
Human-Computer Interaction (www.hci.vt.edu <http://www.hci.vt.edu/>) 
that includes nearly 40 faculty across campus; the Institute for 
Creativity, Arts, and Technology (icat.vt.edu <http://icat.vt.edu/>) 
housed in the new Moss Arts Center; and the Discovery Analytics Center 
(dac.cs.vt.edu <http://dac.cs.vt.edu/>).

Applications must be submitted online to jobs.vt.edu 
<https://listings.jobs.vt.edu/postings/80519> for posting #TR0170152. 
  Applicant screening will begin on December 1, 2017 and continue until 
the position is filled. Inquiries should be directed to Dr. Doug Bowman, 
Search Committee Chair, dbowman@vt.edu <mailto:dbowman@vt.edu>.
