Dear Prof. Heimerl,
Elizabeth Belding told me that you might be able to help publicize this
faculty search.
I want to make you aware of a unique Professor position at UCSD focusing on
“Designing Just Futures.” Faculty hired under this Initiative will join the
UC San Diego campus, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering,
the UC San Diego Design Lab <https://designlab.ucsd.edu/>, and the Indigenous
Futures Institute <https://ifi.ucsd.edu/> to forge a new paradigm of
engagement and collaboration that draws on the geographic, academic,
institutional, and cultural strengths of our tri-national region across
Southern California, Baja California, and the Kumeyaay region.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-
Sustainable Computing (e.g., battery-free, self-powered, biodegradable,
low carbon and net-zero carbon).
-
Technology to Increase Access (e.g., rural/remote broadband/ad-hoc
networks; novel education techniques; disability/accessibility
technologies, research and pedagogy focused on serving indigenous
populations).
-
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Community
Empowerment and Global Developmen (e.g., civic technology, community
information platforms, resident-driven data science, systems, and
implementation-oriented ICT work).
-
Ethical Computing (e.g., systems to interface law, policy, and
technology; disinformation comprehension/mitigation; structural BPC/STEM
work; infrastructure/implementations to decolonize technology).
-
Computing for social justice (e.g., helping to enable core values of
equal rights and equal opportunity through science and technology)
-
Measuring, understanding, and mitigating biases in computer systems and
algorithms; designing computer systems with less bias.
-
Designing more accessible and inclusive health technology (e.g.,
mHealth; health literacy interventions; medication adherence/support).
-
Mixed Physical-digital Interactions and Cyber-physical Systems (eg. VR,
AR, XR).
We have openings at the Assistant and Associate levels and could also
consider other levels.
