Please note these summer positions are unpaid.

Under general supervision, the Undergraduate Student Researcher will gain experience supporting the development and implementation of key ongoing Design Lab projects spearheaded by the Community Team.

We seek a new director for the recently-established University of California, San Diego Design Lab, an international center where design can contribute to many issues and disciplines. This search is part of a major commitment by the University to weave design into the fabric of UCSD academic, research, and community life.

The Director will be expected (1) to oversee a program of impactful research, sustainable via educational programs, external funding, and/or other means; (2). to engage communities beyond the university; and, (3) to contribute to a climate of diversity, equity and inclusion.
