POST DOC POSITION WITHIN UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
===============================================================
KEYWORDS: ubiquitous computing, pervasive healthcare, human-computer
interaction
A two-year post doc position within ubiquitous computing and pervasive
healthcare is available at the pIT laboratory at the IT University of
Copenhagen (ITU). See
http://www.pit.itu.dk/
The position is associated with the MONARCA project. The goals of the
MONARCA project are to develop and validate solutions for multi-parametric,
long term monitoring of behavioral and physiological information relevant
to bipolar disorder. It will combine those solutions with an appropriate
platform and a set of services into a system for management, treatment,
and self-treatment of the disease.
The main focus for the post doc is to solicit requirements for the system
and to engage in a user-centered design process of the system including
its functional architecture and user interfaces. This will be used as a
reference model for the specification development and validation of the
final MONARCA system. The methodology employed will be user-centered design,
including user studies, design, prototyping, system implementation, and user
evaluation. Focus is on all users of the system, including patients, relatives,
caretakers, clinicians, and medical staff.
The position requires a strong research background in user-centered design
methodologies as well as skills for implementation of the design on mobile
technologies like smart phones. Scientifically, the position requires a
strong background in human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported
cooperative work (CSCW), ubiquitous computing, and/or software engineering.
MONARCA is an EU-funded STREP project. The candidate will help manage the project
with respect to the work done by ITU, which entails close cooperation with the
other partners in the project. In addition, 1-2 PhD students will be associated
with the project at ITU, and the candidate have the opportunity to be part of
supervising these students.
