ASSISTANT / ASSOCIATE / FULL PROFESSOR
Creativity & Innovation Cluster

Virginia Tech is strategically investing in hiring innovative faculty to advance its vision to grow beyond boundaries as a premier 21st-century global land-grant institution through our Destination Areas initiative. As interconnected areas of strength, Destination Areas and Strategic Growth Areas facilitate faculty collaborations that bridge disciplines to create innovative and transformative solutions to global issues, while positioning Virginia Tech as a premier destination for talent that seeks to advance the human condition. Through committed university efforts such as AdvanceVT and InclusiveVT (inclusive.vt.edu), the university continues to build institutional and individual commitment to its motto of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) in the spirit of community, diversity, and excellence.

In support of these strategic initiatives, Virginia Tech is recruiting to build a robust and diverse cluster of faculty interested in contributing to transdisciplinary research, teaching, and/or outreach initiatives that align with our Creativity & Innovation Strategic Growth Area. With commitments in this area from the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, College of Engineering, College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, and the Pamplin College of Business, the university is specifically seeking faculty interested in engaging with research and curricular initiatives that support creativity and problem solving in areas such as Creative Experiences and Environments, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Creativity and Innovation in Pedagogy. Faculty with expertise in disciplinary areas such as interactive game design and development, data journalism and analytics, digital storytelling, digital and immersive media, cinema production, motion capture performance technology, business entrepreneurship, or with interdisciplinary backgrounds will be uniquely positioned to help the university advance these efforts.
