A fully-funded PhD studentship is available in the area of multimodal 3D
interaction. The research will investigate how 3D audio and 3D visual
display technologies can be combined with 3D gestural, auditory and
other input technologies to support effective human-computer interaction.
The successful candidate will be supervised by Prof Eamonn O’Neill
(www.bath.ac.uk/comp-sci/contacts/academics/eamonn_oneill). He or she
will work alongside other HCI researchers with specific interests in 3D
gestural, visual and auditory interaction, and will benefit from contact
with a wider group of researchers in areas including Graphics, Computer
Vision and Intelligent Systems. The Human-Computer Interaction research
group at Bath includes 3 full Professors in HCI and around 30 related
staff and postgraduates. The University is in the top 10 of every
relevant UK league table.
Candidates should normally have a good first degree (First Class or 2:1
Honours) or Masters degree in computer science, human-computer
interaction or a related discipline. Candidates must have a strong
interest in human-computer interaction, excellent programming skills and
be willing and able to develop excellent knowledge and skills in
research methods and data analysis techniques, including quantitative
and qualitative methods.
Informal inquiries about the research project or the wider research
context at Bath should be directed to Prof Eamonn O’Neill
([log in to unmask]).

The project is in competition for three studentships across the
Department. If successful, the studentship is expected to start on 1
October 2014 and is fully funded (fees and stipend) for 42 months for
eligible students. RCUK eligibility rules apply.
