Dear List - I was sent the job announcement below by Nick Bryan-Kinns of Queen Mary, University of London. Please respond directly to him at <nick.bryan-kinns@xxxxxxxx>. DAn. Job: Research Assistant (Java Programmer) in Collaborative Cross-modal Interaction We are looking for a Research Assistant to undertake Java programming for accessible interfaces. The Collaborative Cross-modal Interaction project (CCmI) will explore how to design support for collaboration where participants have differing access to modalities. Specifically, the project will look at collaboration between visually impaired users and sighted users in the context of editing diagrams in the software engineering workplace. The deliverable for this project is an open-source software tool that enables collaborative diagram editing between visually impaired and sighted users. The project draws on, and extends existing award winning research and development at Queen Mary, University of London. The results of this project will broaden inclusion in the workplace and give the UK an advantage in the area of assistive technology. This project is part of the Interactional Sound and Music Group at Queen Mary which explores new ways of encountering sound from interactive art to real time data sonification. The group is part of the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) and the Interaction, Media and Communication research group (IMC). The C4DM is a world-leading multidisciplinary research group in the field of Music & Audio Technology. Since its founding members joined Queen Mary in 2001, the Centre has grown to become one of the world's leading Digital Music research groups. The IMC research group is an internationally recognised interdisciplinary research group that works on human interaction, multimodal interaction, creativity and engagement and science outreach. Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL) is one of London and the UK's leading research-focused higher education institutions. Amongst the largest of the colleges of the University of London, Queen Mary's 3000 staff deliver world class degree programmes to our 13,000 students, and undertake high quality research across a wide range of subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Laws, in Medicine and Dentistry and in Science and Engineering.
