" Two design research positions are available at the University of Cambridge working with Dr Nathan Crilly in the Engineering Design Centre. One position is for a post-doctoral researcher (Research Assistant/Associate) and one is for a doctoral research student (PhD Studentship). Both positions are associated with a project funded by the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council with the aim of determining how design methods can enable innovation within emerging technologies. The project is highly interdisciplinary, studying the design principles that apply across many different kinds of system, including technical systems, biological systems and social systems.

El programa AUS-Aid abrió su convocatoria para becas de posgrado en Australia. El período de recepción de documentos está vigente hasta abril 2013 y es para iniciar estudios en enero 2014.
El sitio web es: http://www.AusAIDAASLatAm.org/
Estas becas son específicamente para alumnos de países latinoamericanos, por lo que son especialmente relevantes para este blog. En vez de estar catalogadas por disciplina, este programa busca tener impacto directo en problemáticas prioritarias para nuestra región. Por ello, estas becas van dirigidas a quienes ven el diseño como una estrategia para resolver problemas concretos. Por ejemplo, temas como Agua o Desarrollo Rural -que son temas que rebasan a cualquier disciplina y que bien podrían beneficiarse de enfoques creativos de diseño.
Ahora, el reto para cualquiera que busque aplicar va a ser localizar una maestría (dificil) o un doctorado (menos dificil) que les permita abordar estas temáticas desde el diseño. Sé que el Profesor Bob Hodge en UWS podría ser un caso ejemplar, probablemente habrá otros centros o programas afines.
Buena suerte a quienes decidan ir por esta opción. Son hasta 90 becas, pienso que con una propuesta interesante es relativamente fácil obtenerla.
Estamos en pleno proceso de admisiones para el que será el primer programa de doctorado en la Universidad de Tecnología y Diseño en Singapur. Hay 4 áreas principales, creo que dos de ellas son especialmente relevantes para este blog: ASD y EPD, o Arquitectura y Desarrollo de Productos, respectivamente.
Información: http://www.sutd.edu.sg/phd.aspx
En EPD, grupo en el que participo personalmente, tenemos al menos tres temáticas de interés: Prototipado Rápido, Creatividad e Innovación, y Teoría/Métodos de Diseño.
Qué puedo decir yo respecto a este programa? Tenemos un alto número de becas, los estándares de admisión son MUY altos porque hemos tenido muchos interesados en entrar. Es el primer año, seguramente iremos haciendo algunos errores, pero no dudo ni un instante que este doctorado será de gran interés y beneficio para colegas interesados en temas de interface entre diseño y tecnología.
Y como siempre, recomendamos checar su producción científica para darse una idea: http://www.designskolenkolding.dk/index.php?id=2821The research at Kolding School of Design is focused on research subjects that have been prioritised in unison. Through these subjects, Kolding School of Design aims to contribute to the frontiers in international design research. The research at Kolding School of Design unfolds within four fields of force, which share the common objective of strengthening the school's research based knowledge on:
- Creation processes and cognition in design
- Processes and methodologies of designing
- The cultural, organisational, and technological embedment of design processes
- Challenges for current design practises - value creation, ethic, sustainability, inclusion, and multi-cultural dimensions.
Northumbria University School of Design invites applications for PhD studies focused on its eight areas of research interest. Selected applicants will be nominated for competitive university studentships to fund three years of PhD study. Interested applicants should contact the relevant research grouping lead (see details below) as soon as possible, complete an application form, and submit before the deadline of May 13th, 2011. The School has significant research activities and outputs across eight research themes, organised into three groupings that combine to express the fundamentals of design research (i.e., that we make changes by making sense through making connections). The research themes for Making Connections are: Making and Design Issues. This grouping focuses on what design should do. Its two themes focus on the fundamentals of designing through making and designing through reflecting on design practice at all scales. Applicants are sought with an interest in design craftsmanship, new luxury, the roles of touch or storytelling in design, design activism, the future roles of design, and fundamental aspects of design processes. The research themes for Making Sense are: Experimental Media, Future Materials for Living and Insights. This grouping focuses on what design could do. Its three themes focus on the potential for new design content and process within design's core tributary disciplines of creative arts, science and technology, and the human sciences and humanities. Applicants are sought with an interest in: the creative potential of communicative media (static, dynamic and interactive); the use of new printable, paintable and programmable materials capable of being made intelligent through design; and the untapped potential for design within knowledge, insights and practices from the human sciences and humanities. The research themes for Make Changes are: Design Value Innovation, Social Innovation and Design for Social Equity. This grouping focuses on what design can do. Its three themes focus on demonstrating the value of design through innovation with commercial, community and global collaborators. Applicants are sought with an interest in: commercial innovation, design management for business, service design, public sector innovation, third sector innovation, responsible design practice, sustainable design, design against crime, creative entrepreneurship or workers rights for developing countries, and co-design with disadvantaged groups.
