Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher position in computer science to join Eindhoven University of Technology. Applications will be evaluated immediately.

As a postdoc researcher, you will work within a team of researchers, designers, and graduate students on the design, prototyping, and evaluation of novel sensing systems or novel sensor-embedded artifacts, or building tools for industrial designers to explore the possibilities of these systems. These systems will be deployed in the context of ubiquitous computing, blending themselves into the users’ everyday routine. The core challenges are 1) making sensors perceptually invisible, 2) giving physical form to sensors to create engaging experiences, and 3) collecting data in a non-obtrusive yet reliable way.
We explore a broad set of techniques such as computational fabrication (e.g., 3D printing), electromechanical sensing, machine learning, wearables, and tangible interaction. A candidate who has two or more of the above expertise is preferred. The realization of these systems will be applied in the fields of health, home, and classroom.
- Conceptualizing, designing and prototyping novel sensors and sensor-embedded interactive systems.
- Creating design tools for prototyping novel sensors and sensor-embedded interactive systems.
- Conducting technical/in-lab evaluation on the novel sensors and sensor-embedded interactive systems.
- Publishing in top journals and conferences in the field of HCI
- Setting up project proposals and applying for funding for future research
- Completed (or are about to complete) a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Electrical
- Experience with technical HCI research and (preferably) prototyping of interactive systems.
- Experience in designing, planning and conducting technical, in-lab evaluations of the interactive systems
- A gross monthly salary between 2.709 and 4.274 (on a full-time basis), depending on experience and knowledge;
- A yearly holiday allowance of 8% of the yearly salary;
- A yearly end-of-year allowance of 8.3% of the yearly salary;
- A broad package of fringe benefits (including an excellent technical infrastructure, moving expenses, savings schemes, and excellent sports facilities).
