---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ryan Kastner <kastner@ucsd.edu> Date: Thu, Dec 7, 2023 at 9:49 AM Subject: UCSD Designing Just Futures Faculty Search To: <kheimerl@cs.washington.edu> Cc: Nataly Herrera <nherrera@ucsd.edu> 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.
