Below is a call for applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships on the EDGE Marie Curie COFUND.
Please pass on to anyone with a PhD in HCI who might be interested in moving to Ireland.
The network is already funded, so applicants would just need to pass the internal process. Marie Curie fellowships are both prestigious and well funded.
I would be interested in supervising applicants interested in user engagement and health and wellbeing in particular.
Best regards,
Gavin.
