Hi all,

Please share this PhD opportunity with potential candidates.

We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our research team at Birmingham City University (UK). The PhD candidate should demonstrate interest in Human-Computer Interaction, Computational Interaction and Ageing & Accessibility Research.

The goal of the research project is to explore new ways to design mobile interfaces adapting to individual differences among task performing abilities of older adults with stages of dementia with the aim of supporting them to live more inclusively within society. Good programming and writing skills are desirable.

Funding:
