The successful candidate will join a vibrant faculty conducting interdisciplinary research in human-computer
\ninteraction and the design of sociotechnical systems. Current faculty research includes work in CSCW,
\nsociotechnical systems, HCI, computer-mediated communication, ICTD, user research, emerging communication
\ntechnologies, engineering design, scientific collaboration, and engineering education. The department collaborates
\nwith colleagues around campus, including Computer Science and Engineering, the Information School, the eScience
\nInstitute, and the School of Art. The faculty also routinely engage in research projects with affiliates from the
\nregion\u2019s noted high-tech industry. Seattle is home to many prominent technology companies, along with a robust
\nstartup and global health community.<\/p>\n
The University of Washington is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from
