Job Reference: AAE/2089 http://www.jobs.dundee.ac.uk/vacancies/20080303_00007-y.html Applications are invited from highly qualified researchers for a Research Fellowship available immediately to work on an American Alzheimer's funded research project under the Everyday Technologies for Alzheimer's Care (ETAC) program. The project is jointly held between the University of Dundee, Scotland, and the University of Toronto, Canada. The successful candidate will be based at the School of Computing, on the University of Dundee's main campus in Dundee, Scotland, and will have opportunities for collaborative work in Canada. This fixed-term post is available immediately for a period of 18 months. The successful candidate, who will ideally hold a relevant PhD and excellent research and publication record, will work with Dr. Jesse Hoey in the development of an assistive device to facilitate creative expression for persons with Alzheimer's disease. The research builds upon a large existing body of work into similar devices that use video cameras to monitor a user with a cognitive disability and that make decisions using a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP). The research will be informed by participatory design work at host institutions, and will be clinically tested once complete. Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr. Jesse Hoey ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
