Full/Associate Professor in HCI & INTERACTIVE DIGITAL MEDIA DESIGN

The Department of Communications and New Media Department (CNM) at the
National University of Singapore seeks outstanding candidates at the
Associate or Full Professor level whose research complements our strengths
in Interactive Media Design.

CNM's Interactive Media Design is an interdisciplinary group of
researchers who specialize in emergent issues at the intersections of
theory, interactive art, design and HCI. Faculty normally teach two
courses per semester and supervise honors and graduate research students.
Compensation at NUS is highly competitive and includes eligibility for
annual salary increments, performance bonuses, subsidized housing and
other benefits, as well as generous research support.

We are seeking someone with expertise in one or more of the following
areas: interaction design, critical media design, social media, and
mediated communication in art, work and play. Other areas of interest
include interactive storytelling with a variety of media including music,
painting, typography, video, comics, characters, textiles, sculpture,
heritage, exhibits, and installations. We encourage applications from
candidates who combine interdisciplinary research and creative practice.

The successful candidate is expected to be an excellent researcher who
contributes regularly to relevant top-tier conferences and journals; a
teacher able to teach a mix of theory and studio/design modules for both
undergraduate and graduate students, and be an effective supervisor of
undergraduate and graduate research. The successful candidate will teach
core CNM media design courses as well as courses in his/her area of
specialization. For a representative overview of relevant modules, see the
"Interactive Media Design" offerings at

presentation (to representative undergraduate and graduate students) as
well as a research presentation to the faculty. A PhD in a related field
is required.

service, honors and awards, and a complete list of publications)
