We welcome applicants interested in how emerging media and interactive technologies — such as virtual and extended reality, gamification, gameful systems, artificial intelligence, conversational agents, bioadaptive technologies, and other experiential technologies — can help people reflect, learn, collaborate, and engage with complex societal challenges. Some of the positions are connected to CLIMETA: Meta-engagement in Metaverse, while others reflect research within the broader theme of engaging technologies.
The positions are suitable for applicants with a background in, for example, computer science, human-computer interaction, affective computing, information systems, cognitive science, media and communication studies, design, health technology, behavioural sciences, education, economics, or human-environment interaction. We welcome both theoretically ambitious and empirically rigorous doctoral projects, including those combining different approaches such as technology development, experimental research, qualitative inquiry, design, and public engagement.
The selected researchers will join an interdisciplinary and international research environment at the Research Centre of Gameful Realities, working at the intersection of technology, experience, society, and sustainability.
