2006-2007 d.school Fellowships
Are you interested in a superb fellowship opportunity at Stanford?
Are you passionate about design thinking?
Do you want to collaborate with world-class faculty and designers?
We are looking for people like you!
The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design is a new organization at Stanford. We affectionately call it the d.school. We have set out to prepare future innovators to be breakthrough thinkers and doers, use design thinking to inspire multidisciplinary teams, foster radical collaboration between students, faculty, and industry, and apply the design process to real world projects.
The d.school fellowship is a 1-year post-masters full time position that coincides with the academic school year with the possibility of starting a quarter before or extending to a quarter after. Ideal candidates will come from diverse programs across Stanford, have shown competence in design thinking, and will demonstrate potential for leading innovation.
As part of the dynamic d.school start-up team, fellows will play key roles in the d.school community. Fellows will herald d.school initiatives such as K-12 education, sustainability, design for extreme affordability, and health and wellness. In addition, fellows will collaborate with faculty to create and lead d.school courses, engage in designing and building innovative learning spaces, drive the d.school’s online strategy, and run design thinking workshops.
This is an exceptional opportunity for fellows to develop innovation leadership skills, contribute to the design thinking movement, and to help build one of the most outstanding new organizations on campus. d.school fellows will leave Stanford as members of an inspiring network of leading industry and academic design experts with the confidence, experience, and skills to make a unique and lasting impact on the world.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Nicole Kahn (nkahn@stanford.edu), a current d.school fellow.
