The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has embarked on a
focused cluster hiring plan to recruit top-tier researchers as a part
of President TaylorEighmy’sambitious strategic initiatives. UTSA is
currently looking for three candidates to fill open rank faculty
positions to promote collaborative research, education and outreach
and to create interdisciplinary areas of knowledge that will advance
the field of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed
reality (MR), or more generally XR.
Technological advances, the recent booming consumer market in
immersive displays and interfaces, and computing capability and speed
have accelerated the impact of immersive technologies in our daily
lives. According to recent projections, immersive technologies will be
a $220 billion-dollar industry by 2022. This technology will drive
creative solutions for societal changes in areas such as healthcare,
national defense, education, visualization, and data science. The
complexity of these global problems will require a highly prepared XR
technology workforce and a deep understanding of the human factors
involved.
UTSA’s research portfolio has increasingly become more
transdisciplinary, cutting across areas such as cybersecurity, brain
health, engineering, biomedicine, public health, educational
transformation, sustainability, business and policy. These areas have
been further fueled by focused faculty cluster hires in areas
including cloud computing, cybersecurity, brain health, artificial
intelligence, analyticsand data science. A targeted cluster hire among
faculty with expertise in XR will build on and leverage our
established research portfolio, providing new ways to visualize data,
collaborate, communicate, and learn across disciplines. Hires are
expected to build their own unique programs of research, as well as to
collaborate with other hires in this cluster and with colleagues in
their home department, college, and scientific community of San
Antonio and Texas at large. The multidisciplinary nature of XR is
strongly emphasized in this search, which may result in joint
appointments across multiple departments and colleges.
