Northwestern University seeks Senior Design Professor

[Don Norman-5]

Northwestern University Design Professor

We seek a senior person with strong design background and leadership
skills. Applicants may be academic with PhD and research and
publications in design or practitioner with extensive industrial and
applied experience in design & business. Teaching experience is
essential.

The position can either be a tenured faculty member or a Clinical
Professor (non-tenure track). In the former case, the appointment will
be within the School of Engineering in whatever department best
matches the candidate’s training and expertise. A PhD is highly
desirable and an established record of a robust research program and a
highly visible publication record are essential. Candidates for the
position as Clinical Professor are expected to have extensive
industrial and applied experience within design and business. Teaching
experience is essential.

The co-director will work closely with the faculty for MMM and the
Segal Design Institute, the Deans of McCormick and Kellogg, the MMM
Alumni board and the MMM Advisory board to maintain and enhance MMM as
the premier program in the world that studies the process of managing
from concept through execution, merging a deep knowledge of design
process and design thinking with operations, management and process
thinking. The MMM Program is a long-standing extremely successful dual
degree program run jointly by the School of Engineering and the
Kellogg School of Management, enrolling approximately 60 students each
year for its two-year duration. There are two directors, one from
Kellogg in operations, the other from McCormick in design. (Listed by
Business Week as one of the top design schools in the world.)

The Segal Design Institute is a newly formed unit within McCormick
that links all of the design activities at Northwestern as well as
providing strong connections with the rich design community in the
Chicago area: academic and commercial. We expect the candidate to play
an active role in strengthening the activities of Segal.

To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by
December 1, 2009. Applicants should submit a curriculum vita, a
description of teaching interests, a statement of vision for research
and creative activities, and the names and contact information for
three references. Submission instructions can be found at:
