of the HCI group, as there are innovative interaction techniques in
multimodal and virtual environments, haptics, "tangible interaction",
serious games (with applications in e.g. culture and rehabilitation),
model-based development of interactive systems, interaction in networked
virtual environments and collaborative spaces, context aware (mobile)
applications and ubiquitous computing.
The candidate will be involved in education, mainly in the UHasselt Bachelor
and Master programs Computer Science, with master specializations in
Human-Computer Interaction, Multimedia and Databases.
With regard to the candidate's profile, we emphasize the fact that a strong
track record in research in one or more of the aforementioned research
topics is necessary. Therefore, concrete former research results such as
high-end publications, involvement in/ acquisition of basic and applied
research projects etc are expected.
Because there is a requirement to be able to teach in Dutch in a
"reasonable" time, the official vacancy text is only provided in Dutch.
Please contact us for all questions in this regard.
Applications are due September 7th, 2010.

Tenure Track position (any rank) open in Information Tech (including VR/Simulation) at the University of Florida
The College of Engineering at the University of Florida is recruiting for a tenure-track position at assistant, associate, and full professor level. Recruiting will continue until the position is filled (expected sometime in Spring 2011). The position is slightly unique in that we are trying to find new faculty that can collaborate across departmental boundaries, and thus the candidate can identify their "home" department. In particular, the college is seeking outstanding candidates with a research focus in Information Technology. Of the several anticipated positions within IT that we are hiring for, we are specifically encouraging applicants with a research focus in simulation and virtual reality to apply.
http://engnet.ufl.edu/strategicplans/
http://engnet.ufl.edu/strategicplans/apply/
The University of Florida is a major, public, comprehensive, land-grant, research university, ranked 15th amongst US public universities and 51st worldwide. The University of Florida is located in Gainesville, FL (near Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville) and is the 6th largest university (2009 enrollment was 50,691).
Please pass along (and redistribute) to anyone you think might be interested. I would also appreciate it if you sent me (Benjamin Lok) an email that you are applying so I don't miss your application when I look through the anticipated large number of applicants!
