PhD Scholarships in Ubiquitous Computing
Closing Date: 23 February 2004
Three to four fully funded scholarships are available within the
Computing Department at Lancaster University for PhD research in
ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing is a future-oriented research
field that presents exciting and stimulating challenges for researchers
with interests in diverse areas of computer science. Lancaster is
planning to significantly expand ubiquitous computing research and
training in coming years.
The ubiquitous computing and embedded interactive systems group at
Lancaster University is internationally recognized and maintains close
links to other leading institutions world-wide. It focuses on
experimental research in the following areas:
- computing systems and environments
- user interface technologies (physical, tangible, embedded interaction)
- positioning and location technologies
- context sensing and activity recognition
We seek candidates with an ability to contribute to the high profile of
the group, and an interest in developing their research as part of
ongoing project activities (http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/eis/). We expect
candidates to have an excellent first degree (BSc or equiv.), an
advanced degree (MSc or equiv.), or equivalent experience in Computer
Science.
Prospective applicants are asked to contact Dr.Gerd Kortuem
([log in to unmask]) or Prof. Hans Gellersen
([log in to unmask]) by 23 February 2004 with a letter outlining their
research interest. A formal application for PhD admission is not
required at this initial stage. Informal enquiries are welcome.
The scholarships provide a tax free living allowance and tuition fees,
and will be available to successful candidates for starting dates
between 1 April and 1 October 2004. At least two of the scholarships are
open to non-UK/EU residents.
