<div><b>PhD Studentship: Understanding routine procedural action
in the use of interactive devices</b><br>
<br>
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the area of
understanding routine procedural action and slip errors, under the
supervision of Duncan Brumby and Anna Cox. The precise focus
will be developed with the student but may explore the effects of
interruptions and resumptions, or of multi-tasking, in routine use of
interactive devices. The project will involve experimental work
with human participants designed to test theories of interactive
behaviour. Details about the studentship and its role within the
CHI+MED project can be found in the further information at
http://www.chi-med.ac.uk/posts/studentship-WP3-2010/index.html.<br>
<br>
Applicants should have a first or upper-second (2:1) class honours
degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science or another related area and
have a clear interest in human-computer interaction. Experience
of running controlled experiments with human participants is
essential, as is an effective working knowledge of statistical data
analysis tools (e.g., SPSS, R). Candidates should have excellent
written and verbal communication skills. High levels of ability
in computing and programming are desirable.<br>
</div>
<div>This is a funded studentship. Details of level of funding
and eligibility can be found in the further information, which also
has instructions on<b> how to apply</b>. Informal queries can be
directed to Duncan Brumby (Brumby@cs.ucl.ac.uk, tel. 020 7679 0689) or
Anna Cox (Anna.Cox@ucl.ac.uk).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The studentship runs for 42 months full-time starting September
2010.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Closing date</b> for applications is 6 May 2010.</div>
<div><b>Interviews</b> will be held on 20 May 2010.</div>
<div><br>
Please note that another, separate studentship on the CHI+MED project
is also available, on the situated use of interactive medical devices:

<br>
PhD Studentship: Situated use of interactive medical devices</b></div>
<div><br>
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship on the use of
interactive medical devices by patients and carers. Based at the
UCL Interaction Centre, the student will be part of an internationally
leading Human-Computer Interaction group within the CHI+MED
project.<br>
<br>
Under the supervision of Ann Blandford and Astrid Mayer, the student
will investigate how medical devices are used by patients and carers,
particularly away from the hospital setting. The project will
involve a range of qualitative data gathering and analysis approaches
including interviews, observations and patient diaries to build up a
rich understanding of people's experiences with interactive medical
devices such as infusion devices and glucometers. Details about
the studentship and its role within the CHI+MED project can be found
in the further information at
