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
