Job Description Summary
Bentley University invites applications for a faculty position in the areas of user experience, human-computer interaction (HCI), product design, or related fields (e.g., psychology, social psychology, cognitive science) to start in fall 2023. We seek a UX expert with strong ties to industry and expertise in user research or design. A lecturer would teach undergraduate and graduate UX courses and be involved in directing the MSHFID graduate program. Candidates may also apply to the position as tenure-track focusing on a combination of research, teaching, and service.

The reputation of our graduate program is grounded in educating leaders in user experience research and design. Central to our program's success is the strong connections it has forged with leading technology groups throughout the United States and internationally. We support that network with programs on our main campus, San Francisco and online. Further reinforcing this reputation is our well-known User Experience Center, a research and consulting group contracting with tech organizations around the world. Finally, most of our classes have research and design problems sponsored by startups, non-profit organizations, and large tech companies. Being part of a business university, our graduate program has a strong focus on the strategic role of the user experience in the competitive positioning of products in the marketplace and fostering continuous product innovation.

Bentley is committed to the teacher-scholar model where teaching, scholarship, and service excellence are expected and valued.
