Successful candidates will be expected to: establish and lead their own research group within the Media Lab; pursue creative work of the highest international standard; engage in collaborative projects with industrial sponsors and other Media Lab research groups; supervise masters and doctoral students; and participate in the Media Arts and Sciences academic program.
To apply, please fill out the application at http://facultysearch.media.mit.edu
Application deadline: January 14, 2013
Appointments will be within the Media Arts and Sciences academic program, principally at the Assistant Professor level. A doctorate is preferred but not required.
