We are hiring a Professor Biodesign and More-Than-Human Perspectives.

We are excited to announce that we have a new opportunity for a Professor Biodesign and More-Than-Human Perspectives to lead transformative research bridging human and non-human worlds. In this position you are offered a unique chance to lead transformative research bridging human and non-human worlds, at the intersection of life sciences, design, and technology. If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of traditional design practices through collaborative, interdisciplinary research and teaching, we want to hear from you!

Caradt is thrilled to seek a new professor to explore the fascinating intersection of life sciences, design, and technology, particularly AI. At Caradt, we’re inspired by pioneers like Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing, and Puig de la Bellacasa, who advocate for a paradigm shift towards recognizing our entanglement with other species. Their work underlines the importance of developing more-than-human sensibilities in biodesign, a perspective we’re eager to explore further through the addition of a new professor specializing in biodesign and AI.

 

This role involves leading innovative research, publishing findings, developing and teaching courses, mentoring, and fostering collaborations. It’s a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of biodesign and more-than-human perspectives. This role will not only push the boundaries of design but also contribute significantly to our understanding and relationship with the non-human world. If you’re passionate about making a difference in these dynamic fields, we encourage you to apply by April 12.

 

Caradt is part of Avans University of Applied Science. For more detailed information, please refer to the original vacancy posting on the Avans University of Applied Sciences website herearrow.

 

Join our close-knit team and contribute to a dynamic field where art, design, and technology meet. Do you have questions about this position? Please contact Wouter Meysarrow, Manager Caradt, via wt.meys@avans.nlarrow or at +31 6 46 39 05 66.

Research Group: Biobased Art and Design

The research group Biobased Art and Design capitalises on the role of artistic practice in unlocking the unique potentials of living organisms for everyday materials and communicating these to a broader public. In doing so, the group aims to instigate and accelerate our widespread understanding, further development and usage of such materials. The group’s research approach encourages tangible interactions with the living organisms, such as algae, fungi, plants and bacteria, to explore and understand their unique qualities and constraints through diverse technical and creative methods taking artists, designers and scientists as equal and active partners in the material creation.
