The Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (M-ITI) of the University of Madeira invites applications for the positions of tenure track research faculty to join the ERA Chair team at the Assistant or Associate level, to begin in the spring or fall terms of 2015. The candidate should be a dedicated experimentalist, prepared to contribute to a multidisciplinary “constellation” focused on designing and deploying new humanist technologies that promote social justice, sustainability, and community empowerment. The constellation is housed within a unique and upcoming research institution dedicated to new visions for technology and society, and funded by the European Research Area through the LEAPFROG project of the forthcoming Horizon 2020 program, a prestigious grant awarded to only eleven research institutions in Europe.
The ERA Chair in HCI and Design Innovation is led by Chris Csikszentmihályi, a world class researcher with a background in technologies that promote social justice, sustainability, and community empowerment. The ERA Chair will bring together critical technical practitioners who approach Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and technology design from the “Human” side, privileging social, political, historical, and cultural inquiry as a means to expand and rebalance the making of material culture.
We are looking for exceptional researchers eager to: embrace rather than dissimulate the political and geopolitical aspects of design; draw from the humanities and human sciences as much as computer science for inspiration; and directly contribute to our primary research outputs: new technologies and systems deployed and tested in the field.

• The study of global flows and systems
• Appropriate technology or technology for “development”
• Civic media
• Traditional HCI with humanist interests
• Big data with a focus on environment, social justice, or international political economy
• Artistic and humanistic approaches to technology
• Technology for social change or activism
