You can apply for this job before 31-08-2009 Tasks
The positions have become available through a grant from the Ministry of Economic Affairs through the Innovation-directed Research Programme Integrated Product Creation and Realization, for the project \\\"Resolving the Paradox of User-Centred Design through Flexible Prototyping\\\". The project involves collaboration with the University of Twente and several companies. The aim of the project is to develop a suite of tools for the creation of prototypes and virtual contexts that will be used by designers in companies to facilitate the dialogue with users in a collaborative design process. The claim is that the tools will enable designers in industry to conduct a more effective and efficient design process. The project will start from existing versions of tools for creating prototypes and contexts.
The first phase of the project consists of collecting requirements for prototyping tools from designers in industry and an analysis of tools and methods that are currently in use. Next, subproject A will focus on developing one of the tools on the basis of the obtained requirements (see http://www.vip.id.tue.nl/software.html for an impression of the tool). Subproject B will focus on defining protocols for the use of the tools in industry and the evaluation of the tools vis-a-vis the requirements and the claims. (A third subproject will take place at Twente University and will focus on a Virtual Reality tool for creating contexts in which prototypes can be explored). Good collaboration between the three subprojects is essential to the success of the project. Requirements
For subproject A we are looking for a candidate with a master's in Computer Science with an affinity towards user-centred design. For subproject B we are looking for a candidate with expertise in user-centred design methodology, for instance through a master in applied cognitive psychology, human-computer interaction or industrial design, and affinity with technology. Both candidates should be teamworkers and should be open towards working in collaboration with industry. Appointment and Salary
The appointment is for thee and a half years. As an employee of the university you will receive a competitive salary as well as excellent employment conditions (including excellent sport facilities and child care). The research in this project must be concluded with writing a PhD thesis. A salary is offered starting at EUR 2042,- per month (gross) in the first year and increasing up to EUR 2612,- per month (gross) in the last year. Moreover 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end of year allowance is provided annually. Ph.D. students at TU/e are appointed as temporary staff members. They are exempted from payment of tuition fees. Assistance for finding accommodation can be given. The positions are available from October 1st, 2009. Information
