The Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath includes one of the longest established and most successful HCI research groups in the UK, and we wish to make further academic appointments in this area.

The department hosts two centres for Doctoral Training, the Digital Economy Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications, and prestigious fellowships within the HCI group funded by both the Royal Society and the European Research Council. In addition to an existing large makerspace and bespoke VR and motion capture labs, we have recently added a new fabrication research laboratory to our facilities.

We will offer you support and growth opportunities, including career mentoring, opportunities to progress, manage and lead, access to our network of application sector partners including entertainment, sport, healthcare and technologies. You will offer us a strong academic record and the ability and enthusiasm to create an engaging experience for our excellent students.

What You Will Do As a Faculty Member

Research – You will work with colleagues, students and researchers to develop and publish papers. You will apply for research funding to support your ideas. You will find ways of making your research available to society, for example, by working with industry, developing spin-outs, collaborating with charities, influencing policy makers, or delivering talks and demonstrations to excite wider audiences.

Teaching – You will design and deliver teaching materials for lectures, tutorials, and labs. You will be educating and inspiring some of the brightest students in the country, delivering an engaging experience and a supportive programme.

Helping with the running of the department – You might help with student placements, ethics processes, recruitment, and admissions, or lead a research team.

If you have any questions or you would like to talk informally about the role, please contact Professor Eamonn O’Neill, Head of Department (maseon@bath.ac.uk).
