Carnegie Mellon University is a private, global research university that challenges the curious and hardworking to deliver work that matters. Our extraordinary institution has distinctive areas of excellence and a culture marked by ambition and a deep, practical engagement with challenges facing society. We continue to produce dedicated alumni and draw faculty and staff eager to be a part of the university’s creative, dedicated and close-knit community. We place emphasis on practical problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, a transformative spirit, and collaboration. The Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) is a living laboratory where we investigate the relationship between computer technology, human activity, and society. Founded in 1993, the HCII is a place where we work to understand and compose technology that harmonizes with and improves human capabilities, goals, and social environments through interdisciplinary research and education in invent, computer science, and behavioral and social sciences. We are searching for a Learning Game and Tutor Research Programmer! This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career software engineer, especially one interested in educational technology - working under the direction of Professor Bruce McLaren. An opportunistic programmer could parlay this into a future job with an EdTech company – Professor McLaren has many contacts in that space – or to further academic studies in educational technology (i.e., a master’s or PhD program). Flexibility, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within the School of Computer Science. Collaboration and cultural sensitivity are valued competencies at CMU. Therefore, we are in search of a team member who is able to effectively interact with a varied population of internal and external partners at a high level of integrity. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.
