Applications are invited for a three-years Research Associate/Senior 
Research Associate position in the Bristol Interaction Group (BIG Lab 
<http://big.cs.bris.ac.uk>) within the Department of Computer Science at 
the University of Bristol.

The role is part of the EPSRC project “Crossmodal Interactive Tools for 
Inclusive Learning <http://critical.ousmet.com>”, which aims at 
investigating novel multisensory learning and teaching technologies that 
supports inclusive interaction between visually-impaired and sighted 
children in mainstream schools.

We are using an iterative user-centred approach combining participatory 
design activities with empirical research into multimodal and crossmodal 
interaction to find out how different senses can be effectively 
integrated with visual capabilities to support group work. We are 
engaged with local schools to design and research multisensory tools for 
teaching and learning purposes, focusing on accommodating curriculum 
requirements and social processes surrounding collaborative learning.

We are looking for a candidate with solid skills in software and 
hardware development, expertise in HCI, and an interest in multisensory 
interaction and accessibility. They will work with partner schools to 
conduct research that ranges from accessible participatory design to 
software and hardware development, and experimental user studies and 
evaluation. There will be freedom and flexibility in shaping the 
research project within its broader objectives.

The successful candidate must hold a PhD in Computer Science or related 
disciplines, with strong programming and development skills and a strong 
track record in relevant HCI research as evidenced by publications in 
appropriate venues. They will have an appreciation for user-centred 
design approaches and work well independently as well as part of a team. 
Experience in multisensory and collaborative systems development will be 
valued.

This post is being offered on a full time, open ended contract with 
funding up to March 2020.

It is anticipated that interviews will take place around the beginning 
of March 2017
