The Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath wishes to appoint one or more early career academics with an excellent track record, a strongly interdisciplinary outlook, and the clearly demonstrated potential to be an international leader in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
For details see:
http://www.bath.ac.uk/science/prize-fellows/comp-sci-prize-fellowships-areas.html
The Department’s research is structured in four groups: HCI, Computer Vision & Graphics, Intelligent Systems, and Mathematical Foundations. The HCI group at Bath is highly regarded internationally, very successful in research publication and grant capture, and collaborates extensively across the University and beyond. The post holder will be expected to conduct excellent research within the HCI group and to strengthen and develop the HCI group’s links to our other groups.
The £5 million EPSRC Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA) is an example of the existing interdisciplinary collaborations between the Department’s HCI and Vision & Graphics groups. Another example of these collaborations is our £11 million Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE), in which Engineering Doctorate students are co-supervised by world-leading industrial researchers. The post holder will also be expected to engage actively with the CDE and our industrial partners.
Candidates will be expected to hold a PhD and to be an early career researcher with an outstanding record in HCI. The successful applicant will be expected to develop his or her own research activities and funding portfolio with support from the Prize Fellowhsip programme. The post holder will be expected to contribute to teaching and to the administration, leadership and management of the Department’s activities commensurate with the post.
Both the Department and the University are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment. We are working to improve the gender balance within the Department and particularly welcome applications from women.
For informal discussion about the appointment, you may contact Prof Eamonn O’Neill: [log in to unmask] or 01225 383216.
The deadline for applications is 31 December 2015.
