Research Fellow
Vacancy Ref: BHA0177/1
A Research Fellow post is available to work on
the Microsoft Research funded project
"on_message@home" at Brunel University.
The project will examine communication practices
within the home that are used for informing and
coordinating with other family members to
motivate the design of prototype interactive
displays and interactive device designs that
support technologically augmented messaging. The
project also aims to define new directions and
insights into domestic technology design that
will better meet user needs.
Prospective applicants for the post will be
expected to have a good degree, 2:1 or higher in
a related field, preferably with an appropriate
Masters degree or PhD. The appointment will be
for 12 months, and salary will be on the RA1A
scale (£19,460 to £29,128, plus London weighting
of £1990). Supervision will take place within the
school and will be led by Dr Mark Perry.
The ideal candidate for position will have at
least undergraduate degree level experience in an
appropriate combination of interaction design,
computer science, information systems,
psychology, social sciences, or a related
discipline. Ideally, you would have experience in
qualitative data collection and in the use of
prototyping techniques and languages (e.g. either
Director, Flash, or Visual Basic).
The position will begin from the 1st of July
2005, or as soon as possible afterwards. In
addition, we will finance and encourage the
successful applicants to study for a PhD in the
department if they wish to.
The School of Information Systems, Computing and
Mathematics was highly rated in the last RAE and
aims to promote high quality research within a
multi-disciplinary and highly supportive
environment.
