The Expertise centre for Digital Media (EDM, www.edm.uhasselt.be) is a
research institute of Hasselt University in Belgium. The research team
of about 80 people performs scientific research in 3 areas: computer
graphics, human-computer interaction and multimedia & communication
technology. The Human-Computer Interaction group at the Expertise
Centre for Digital Media is inviting applications for the following
positions:
- PhD SCHOLARSHIP in Human-Computer Interaction / Model-Driven
Engineering
<http://www.uhasselt.be/actueel/vacatures/vac321152e.asp>
The fundamental research project is carried out in the domain of model-
based development of user interfaces. The use of models and their
transformations are the central concepts in this project. The PhD
research consists of the investigation of different aspects of the HCI
modeling languages for context-sensitive interactive applications and
their place within model-driven engineering. Properties of model
transformations, such as correctness, are investigated through
formalization of the used models.
Diploma requirements: master in computer science, licence in (applied)
computer science, civil engineer computer science or equivalent.
Students who will complete their studies during the summer, are
strongly invited to apply.

- PhD SCHOLARSHIP in Human-Computer Interaction and Networked Virtual
Environments
<http://www.uhasselt.be/actueel/vacatures/vac321162e.asp>
The intended research is situated in the domains of networked virtual
environments (NVE) and human-computer interaction (HCI). More
specifically, synchronization in scalable networked virtual
environments is studied, supporting simulation-based interaction. The
investigated synchronization techniques enhance consistency of the
status of the virtual environment as presented to all users.
Heterogeneous environments (different platforms, I/O devices etc.) are
taken into account. Besides synchronization techniques, interaction
techniques and the flexibility in their realization play an important
role in the envisioned research. Usable multimodal interaction
metaphors are designed for individuals as well as groups of users. A
division of the users in subgroups is considered for both simulation
and interaction between several users in order to enhance performance
and social interaction. Further details of the PhD research topics
will be determined based on the background and interest of the PhD
candidate.
Diploma requirements: master in computer science, licence in (applied)
computer science, civil engineer computer science or equivalent.
Students who will complete their studies during the summer, are

to the following address: [log in to unmask]
- RESEARCH POSITION
In addition to the above mentioned scholarships, the Human-Computer
Interaction group of UHasselt-EDM will soon advertise one or more
vacancies for a researcher. This is a research position for one year
(continuation is considered depending on the performance of the
researcher and project opportunities) on a research project without
the obligation to make a PhD.
