The Department of Communications and New Media Department (CNM) at the National University of Singapore seeks outstanding candidates at the Associate or Full Professor level whose research complements our strengths in Interactive Media Design.
CNM’s Interactive Media Design is an interdisciplinary group of researchers who specialize in emergent issues at the intersections of theory, interactive art, design and HCI. Faculty normally teach two courses per semester and supervise honors and graduate research students. Compensation at NUS is highly competitive and includes eligibility for annual salary increments, performance bonuses, subsidized housing and other benefits, as well as generous research support.
We are seeking someone with expertise in one or more of the following areas: interaction design, critical media design, social media, and mediated communication in art, work and play. Other areas of interest include interactive storytelling with a variety of media including music, painting, typography, video, comics, characters, textiles, sculpture, heritage, exhibits, and installations. We encourage applications from candidates who combine interdisciplinary research and creative practice.
The successful candidate is expected to be an excellent researcher who contributes regularly to relevant top-tier conferences and journals; a teacher able to teach a mix of theory and studio/design modules for both undergraduate and graduate students, and be an effective supervisor of undergraduate and graduate research. The successful candidate will teach core CNM media design courses as well as courses in his/her area of specialization. For a representative overview of relevant modules, see the “Interactive Media Design” offerings at http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/cnm/index.php/undergraduate/module-overview.

1) Statements of research and teaching interests
2) A CV (including education, employment history, public and professional service, honors and awards, and a complete list of publications)
