Recruitment for Associate Professor in Design Strategy and Innovation Management

The Master's Program of Design at the Kyoto Institute of Technology will offer a studio-based educational program focused on social implementation, centered on the convergence of art and science rooted in Kyoto’s culture—a mission that has been central to KIT since its founding. Through student participation in joint research projects with overseas research institutions, our Department cultivates future “Tech Leaders” capable of making an impact on the global stage. The Innovation Management Studio, one of the key studios to be launched as part of this program, is seeking individuals with expertise in design strategy, business planning, and management strategy. Given that management is a practical field, candidates must possess not only teaching experience but also practical work experience. Furthermore, as one of the distinctive features of this program is that communication is conducted in English, candidates with research or teaching experience abroad are preferred.
