Opening for a 3 yr post-doctoral fellow at the University of Sussex

The Interact Lab of the University of Sussex has an opening for a post-doctoral fellow to join our team to work on a new project  on Acoustic Levitation. The primary goal of this project is to apply the principles of acoustic levitation to create dynamic 3D physical shapes and explore its potential for human computer interaction.
We will create multi-object levitations, identify user-interaction principles and build demonstrators. This is a joint project with the Ultrasonics group of the University of Bristol and has been funded by EPSRC. The project team comprises of this research fellow in Sussex, a research fellow in Bristol, an artist-in-residence (based in Sussex), a project technician (based in Sussex) and Carbon Visuals (a data-physicalisation company).
This position will involve a variety of tasks: design and construction of light-weight objects that could be levitated, implementing acoustic algorithms, implement interaction techniques, conduct user-studies to identify interaction principles and publishing these results in scientific venues. The applicant will also be expected to help in the teaching of related units.
The position would be suitable for someone with experience on technical aspects of one or more of the following areas
a)     human-computer interaction (i.e. audio processing, interactive graphics, augmented reality systems and levitation),
b)     acoustic signal processing (with some demonstrated interest and experience with human-computer interaction) a
c)     computer graphics (with some interest and experience in human-computer interaction and/or audio processing).

Some experience with electronics and using maker tools (e.g. laser cutters) will be valued.
