PhD studentship: Multimodal HCI - Glasgow

A fully-funded 3.5 year PhD studentship is available in the area of multimodal interaction and home care systems on the EPSRC-funded “MMH: Multimodal Reminders in the Home” project. This is lead by Glasgow and is in collaboration with Edinburgh University and Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.

The focus of the PhD studentship will be to design and evaluate novel multimodal reminder and interaction techniques using mobile devices in the home. Some key areas to be investigated are to:

* Design and evaluate different types of mulimodal reminder displays in the lab, particularly using visual, auditory, tactile and olfactory displays;
* Assessment of our multimodal reminders in people's homes to see how our designs work in real use;
* Developing open source multimodal reminder system demonstrators.

The post is available from 1st October 2009 (the start date is negotiable) for 3.5 years and would suit applicants with a good honours or Masters degree in computing science, good programming skills and an interest in human-computer interaction and multimodal interaction.

Glasgow has a world leading research group in human-computer interaction and is a really dynamic and exciting group of over 30 people looking at all aspects of HCI.

The closing date for applications is 6th July , 2009.
