Europe, Grenoble, conducts research in the areas of CSCW and HCI
applications and it is a multi-disciplinary group, consisting of field

these studies is ethnomethodological. Our research covers numerous
work domains, focusing on the 'office' and other industrial and
commercial enterprises.
We are currently looking for a researcher with skills in CSCW and HCI
to support the development phases in one of the projects the group is
currently undertaking. The focus of the research will be around
collaboration support systems and awareness systems applied to call
center work.
Research topics of particular interest include advanced visualization
and novel interaction mechanisms and will exploit novel interfaces.
The applicants will also have to be able in their research to
understand and exploit technology and methods coming from the fields
of machine learning.
Applicants will have to demonstrate their capacity to define and/or

strong deployment to be used worldwide in client systems. They will
