The University of Miami School of Communication Department of Interactive Media invites applications for permanent, full-time, nine-month, tenure-track, or tenure-eligible faculty positions at the Assistant Professor and Associate Professor levels. The candidate must possess or expect to receive a Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Centered Computing, Communication, Computer Science, or a related discipline by the beginning of the appointment, August 15, 2023.

Successful candidates are expected to conduct research adjacent to communication. Areas of specialization may include: specific applications (e.g. virtual reality, augmented or mixed reality, computer vision, social impact games, serious and educational games, data visualization, intelligent agents, machine learning, etc.); social justice and bias; deepfakes and trustworthiness; bots and social engineering of communication, computational communication, and classic Human-Machine Communication (HMC) approaches broadened to include Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI).

Candidates are expected to develop and maintain a recognized research program. Exceptional candidates in related areas will be considered. The selected candidate will be expected to teach classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The faculty member will be housed primarily in the newly formed Department of Interactive Media and will also have responsibilities in the Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC). The Interactive Media department is a multidisciplinary research and teaching community encompassing virtual reality, games, user experience, interaction design, data visualization, and allied disciplines offering two minors, a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Fine Arts. IDSC is a newly created university research organization rapidly growing its capacity. IDSC focuses on defining new knowledge areas and disciplines that can take advantage of data and computation, enhancing the use of data and computational methods in existing disciplines at the University of Miami, and helping to educate the public at large about the intelligent and responsible use of data by developing programs at all educational levels.
