Elisava, Barcelona School of Design and Engineering (UVic-UCC), understands design and industrial design engineering as tools for transforming the world through innovation and critical thinking. Elisava is a faculty for questioning pre-established ideas, experimenting with new paths, connecting with the professional world and finding alternatives.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of cultural production, redefining the ways in which art and cultural content are created, distributed, and consumed. While AI offers powerful tools to enhance human creativity, it also raises fundamental questions about authorship, aesthetic diversity, and the ethical implications of its widespread adoption.

In this context, Elisava, Barcelona School of Design and Engineering of Barcelona (UVic-UCC), invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position supervised by Professor Dr Massimo Menichinelli to further develop knowledge, strategies and contents for integrating Design with Artificial Intelligence. Ideally the candidate already has experience on both technical and cultural and social aspects of AI and is expected to develop research at the intersection of both dimensions, especially with a focus on systems, worldviews, posthumanist philosophies, more-than-human approaches, and social innovation and social change.

The position is a full-time postdoctoral appointment (Profesor/a Doctor/a in Spanish, equivalent to Lecturer). The candidate is expected to develop successful acquisition of external research funding, including competitive grant applications, and to establish a line of research on AI and Design and will be supported in its development and in career planning.

The selected candidate will:

a) develop research on AI and Design, for example on training programs for enabling designers, architects, and creative professionals to integrate generative AI, digital fabrication, and sustainable design into their work.

b) work on European, national and regional research and innovation projects.

c) grant writing for European, national and regional research and innovation projects on AI and Design.

d) contribute to the discussion on, research on and adoption of AI in Design in the Elisava Research department.
