The three conceptual pillars constitute: (a) Social Design - collaborative design with communities and the public sectors to improve living conditions through critical, systemic and participatory approaches; (b) Design Economies - entrepreneurial design that enhances service innovation and value creation in the private sector; and (c) Design Making - human-centered and hands-on design investigations in labs and with communities, in the practices of making and prototyping via socio-technical means. They are identified as the three flagship themes to consolidate the research focus and emerging pedagogies in the School.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Duties </strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>The appointees will be required to:</strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(a) conduct research as the main duty and actively pursue external research grants, such as General Research Fund, as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator; </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(b) conduct research that leads to publications in refereed journals, or a body of design work which leads to outputs contributing to the knowledge and teaching of the design disciplines; </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(c) provide quality teaching at undergraduate or postgraduate level;</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(d) contribute to departmental service; and </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(e) perform any other duties as assigned by the Dean of School or his delegates. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Qualifications </strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Applicants should:</strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(a) have a doctoral degree in relevant disciplines; </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(b) have at least two years of postdoctoral research experience; </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(c) have demonstrated promise of a high level of creative ability in research and teaching in some subdivisions of his/her field; </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(d) be able to demonstrate effective classroom teaching skills; and </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(e) be highly proficient in written and spoken English. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">(f) Preference will be given to those with experience in writing research proposals.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Applicants are required to submit (a) a letter of application declaring a focus area of expertise; (b) an updated curriculum vitae; and (c) a one-page statement of research explaining specially how to collaborate with other disciplines.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Conditions of Service</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">A highly competitive package including a medical benefits plan and a gratuity payable upon completion of the term which is normally for two years initially, with possibility of extension.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Application </b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Please submit an application through PolyU’s career website (<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://jobs.polyu.edu.hk/rap\" rel=\"no-follow\" target=\"_blank\">https://jobs.polyu.edu.hk/rap</a>). <b>C</b><b>onsideration of applications will commence on 15 November 2023 until the positions are filled</b>.
