We look for an enthusiastic colleague who is comfortable with the research methods commonly used by creative industries, and with more open methodologies such as critical making or action research. At the end of the course, students should be ready to conduct design research / testing / validation in professional settings, and should also be aware of other critical, exploratory, and art-inspired methodologies for research through design. The candidate will also be responsible for pitching projects that students & lecturers of the M.Sc. Digital Design might conduct with researchers from the various research units (lectoraten) of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and/or other institutions. Currently, the M.Sc. Digital Design already employs an Industry Liaison officer who is responsible for developing projects together with private partners, and we envision that the Lecturer in Design Research will have a similar task but targeted to research entities. We are seeking a colleague with a Ph.D. degree in a field related to design (HCI, Digital Design, Product Design, Interaction Design, UX…) and an affinity to research methodologies applied to the design process. Due to the complexity of this position, we require candidates to have obtained their Ph.D. at the time of hiring. The selected candidate must be able to start at the beginning of Semester 2 (Feb. 1, 2021), but an earlier start date can be arranged if requested.
