+++ Assistant/Associate Professor - Interaction Design +++

The Department of Architecture at the University at Buffalo is  
seeking candidates for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at  
the level of Assistant or Associate Professor in Interaction Design,  
to begin Fall 2008 or Spring 2009.

Qualified applicants should have a terminal degree in Architecture,  
Interaction Design or Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and have a  
demonstrated record of excellence in teaching, research and/or  
creative practice. We seek applicants with expertise in one or more  
of the following areas: human-computer interaction; perceptual and  
cognitive factors in design; tangible and social computing; digital  
fabrication and rapid prototyping. The successful candidate will  
teach graduate design courses, advanced seminars and conduct research  
in their area of expertise. S/he will be committed to  
interdisciplinary research related to Architecture and Pervasive  
Computing through the Center for Virtual Architecture (CVA), a  
designated center for excellence at the University at Buffalo.

The CVA’s research is located at the intersection of architecture,  
new media and computing. This research is aligned with the  
University’s “UB 2020” strategic strengths in “Information and  
Computing Technology” and “Artistic Expression and Performing  
Arts” [www.buffalo.edu/ub2020/overview/]. The CVA is interested in  
the possibilities offered by computational systems for rethinking  
human interaction with (and within) the built environment. Its focus  
areas include responsive architecture, pervasive media, and learning  
environments [cva.ap.buffalo.edu].

The School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo  
is the only unit in the State University of New York (SUNY) system  
that offers the fully accredited Master of Architecture degree. The
