Hi All, Saw this post on CHI Meta: A great opportunity for prospective PhD students interested in designing for low-wage workers. IMO, Dombrowski is doing some of the best work in HCI with/for low-income populations.

I'm hiring two Ph.D. students next year. If you know someone who would be interested in conducting work on designing and understanding technology in the low wage workplace, please send them my way! (sorry for the multiple posts!) The official Call: Prospective PhD Recruitment The School of Informatics and Computing (SOIC) at Indiana University – Purdue University in Indianapolis (IUPUI) invites applications for incoming Ph.D. students with design and research interests focused collaborative computing work technologies to conduct research with Dr. Lynn Dombrowski on the NSF-Funded project: Designing Collaborative and Transparent Work Information Systems. Students interested in socially engaged interaction design; community-based action research; designing for social issues; speculative/critical/reflective design; and/or social computing for social good/justice/equality are also strongly encouraged to apply. Project: Designing Computing Systems for the Low Wage Workplace Ph.D. in Informatics with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction Faculty Advisor: Dr. Lynn Dombrowski Funding Opportunity: Graduate Research Assistant Funding Details: 50% annual appointment (includes monthly stipend, tuition remission, eligible for benefits, access to travel funding; renewable for up to 4 years) For this project, incoming students will be under the supervision of Dr. Lynn Dombrowski, Assistant Professor.

Students will also assist with literature reviews, manuscript preparation, and scholarly dissemination, including conference presentations and publication opportunities. Interested? Great! Interested students should apply directly to the Human-Computer Interaction Ph.D. Program and in their cover letter, they should indicate they are interested in working with Dr. Dombrowski on the Low-wage workplace project and demonstrate their project fit. Applicants should also email Dr. Dombrowski at lsdom...@iupui.edu directly that they are applying for the position. Application deadline is January 15, 2018.
