Lectureship in HCI at the University of Bristol

We are currently advertising for a lectureship in HCI at the
University of Bristol (equivalent of assistant professor).

Applicants who can complement our existing research expertise in
human-hardware interaction, novel interactive devices, tangible user
interfaces and electronic interaction design are particularly welcome.

You will have substantial academic experience, an emerging
international reputation and a proven track record for innovation and
research leadership. A solid track record of collaboration with
researchers and practitioners in the arts, humanities and social
sciences would be welcome to complement our work across the University
and the wider Bristol community in creative technologies.

The Bristol Interaction and Graphics research group
(http://big.cs.bris.ac.uk) have a deep commitment to interdisciplinary
research, and in particular rethinking computing devices and designs
drawing on ethnographic and experimental research.

The University of Bristol offers an excellent research environment for
Human-Computer Interaction, as it gathers internationally acknowledged
leaders in the field, with computer scientists collaborating with
designers, social scientists and artists. Within the University and
across the region, Bristol is home to an ecosystem of centres of
excellence engaged in creative technologies and has one of the largest
concentrations of creative and microelectronics industries in Europe.

You will help the group develop its emerging international reputation
for research. The passion to impact on the world research stage and
drive the field of Human-Computer Interaction in novel directions will
be important. You will also be an enthusiastic lecturer and contribute
to teaching our excellent postgraduate and undergraduate students in
Computer Science.

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Mike Fraser (email:
