Research Associate in Dynamic Information Presentation
Department of Computing and Electrical Engineering
Heriot-Watt University
A Research Associate position is available to work on an EPSRC
funded project concerning dynamic information presentation.
This is a three year project, starting October 2000 or as
soon as possible thereafter.
The project aims to investigate techniques for dynamic and personalised
presentation of information, considering both the needs of
information providers and end users. A detailed study will be
made of existing techniques, and the potential interactions
between them (as both end users and providers filter or
tailor the information and the way it is presented).
A study will be made of the different types of transformations,
and a tool developed that can be used to build dynamic presentation
applications which take into account both provider
and end-user adaptations. This tool will be used to build
demonstrations of complex personalised presentations
in the domain of healthcare information.
Candidates should have background and skills in one or more
of the following areas: Databases, Artificial Intelligence,
Information Retrieval, Human-Computer Interaction, Internet
Technology. We are looking for someone with good technical
skills (including programming), and capable of undertaking
independent research. Candidates without a Ph.D will be encouraged
to register for one.
Appointment will be made in the range £16,286-£24,479 according to age
and experience. There is also a possibility of a part time position.
Further particulars are available from
