EPSRC-funded PhD studentship in Human-Computer Interaction at the
University of Lancaster
This studentship is offered as part of a collaborative venture in
human-computer interaction between the Departments of Psychology and
Computing at Lancaster. We currently offer a Masters by Research in the
Design and Evaluation of Advanced Interactive Systems, which also has
EPSRC-funded places available for 2004, and we hope to recruit a
postgraduate student interested in pursuing research under the general
theme of interaction design and evaluation. Applicants will be
co-supervised by both departments, and should be graduates, or about to
graduate, with at least a 2i hons. in Psychology, Computing or a related
discipline. Your research interests should match those of the departments'
research groups:
Psychology - The High-Level Cognition group focuses upon understanding
human cognitive processes including memory, reasoning, problem-solving,
creativity, task analysis, human error, interaction design and evaluation,
ethnography. Likely supervisors include Professor Tom Ormerod and Dr.
Linden Ball. More information at http://www.psych.lancs.ac.uk/
Computing - the department have a large number of international leaders in
human-computer interaction research, and two core research groups in
Cooperative Systems Engineering and Distributed Multimedia Systems. Likely
supervisors include Professor Alan Dix, Professor Hans Gellersen and Dr.
Corina Sas. More information at http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/
The studentship will start on 1st October 2004, and the deadline for
