****************************************************** * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * ****************************************************** PhD Studentship: User experience of designed products As users interact with designed products (including software, systems and services) they form interpretations that influence how they think, feel and behave. At a basic level, such interpretations are based on form and functionality, whilst more complex responses include assessment of the values that products are seen to embody and judgements on the cultural associations that they evoke. This research project will investigate how products are experienced, and how the design of those products influences the meanings that are assigned to them. Applications are invited from candidates irrespective of their disciplinary or professional background. An interest in ideas along with the ability to develop and express them is essential. The studentship is for a period of three years preferably commencing 1 October 2009, subject to satisfactory progress and the regulations of the University of Cambridge. Funding will be available for exceptional candidates, from the UK and EU, including maintenance and fees. Overseas students must be self-funded.
