Dear List members,
There are two Research Fellowships available at Reading and South Bank
University following the award of an EPSRC/DETR LINK Research Grant.
Please passs this on to anyone who may be interested. I or Hilary Dalke
can be contacted for an informal talk about the project.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Future Integrated Transport - Research Project
'Inclusive Transport Environments: Colour design, lighting and visual
impairment'
Multimodal transport environments of the future present major problems
for users especially in relation to the ageing population and people who
are visually impaired. The contribution of design and ighting to the
functioning of these transport environments is extensive. Two Research
Fellows are required for this exciting 2 year project which adopts a
broad multi-disciplinary approach. A wide range of industrial
collaborators are also involved. Post (a) will be based at the Colour
Design Research Centre at South Bank University in London and Post (b)
will be based at The Research Group for Inclusive Environments at the
University of Reading.
The project is due to commence in the first half of 2001. Both research
posts will work closely together on the project and, on occasions, will
be required to work in either Research Centre.
Research Fellow (Post a) - The successful candidate may come from a
variety of disciplines including architecture, interior design and
product design. There is also a need for experience in CAD. An interest
in the social issues of the practical application of colour, design and
lighting in the built environment is essential.
Research Fellow (Post b) - The successful candidate may come from a
variety of disciplines associated with the built nvironment. An
interest or experience in lighting is essential. The candidate would
also be required to carry out the experimental design and statistical
analysis of data developed by the project.
Candidates for these post should be Postdoctoral and preferably have
experience in the area. The project is of interest to those who are
keen to be involved with addressing the transport environmental design
of the future through a broad interdisciplinary project. Candidates
will be required to interact with older people and people with
disabilities especially visual impairments. This exciting project
offers a unique challenge for suitable candidates. Please call for an
informal discussion,
