Iowa State University invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track 
faculty position to enhance its growing academic and research program in 
the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) beginning in August 2011. 
HCI at ISU is an interdepartmental graduate program that has experienced 
substantial expansion during its seven-year existence, with over 140 
graduate students and 70 faculty members across all colleges. It 
provides an ideal environment for interdisciplinary collaboration with 
leaders in the field. To complement the existing strengths of the 
program, candidates with a demonstrated interest and background in HCI, 
including interface and interaction design, industrial design, 
usability, learning sciences, behavioral science, social media, or 
research methods in HCI are encouraged to apply. The research component 
will build on interdisciplinary work already under way in the program 
and at Iowa State University’s Virtual Reality Applications Center.
Position responsibilities include leading and implementing research 
projects in HCI-related fields, seeking external funding, teaching 
graduate courses on-campus and online, and advising Masters and Ph.D. 
level students. Attractive start-up packages are available. The tenured 
or tenure-track appointment will be made in one of the academic 
departments participating in the HCI graduate program. Applicants
