Postdoc in Input Recognition (CHI, UIST, IMWUT—Human-Computer Interaction & Ubiquitous Computing) in Zürich

The  is looking for a postdoc in the area of input recognition.

Candidates should have an established full-paper publication record at in Human-Computer Interaction and/or Ubiquitous Computing.

Our research will be focused on input recognition on desktop, mobile, and wearable devices.

We will investigate novel interaction techniques for these recognizers and study users while interacting using the developed interfaces.

We will also build interactive applications that leverage our novel techniques, such as in Ubiquitous Computing, Mobile Interaction, or AR/VR .

• Development: Design and implement new recognition methods for input detection.
• Prototyping: Create prototypes to demonstrate and test new interaction concepts
• Data Collection & Analysis: Collaborate with other members  to gather and process data, ensuring quality and relevance.
• Continuous Learning: Stay updated with the latest advancements in HCI and Ubicomp.

Besides, the role of a postdoc includes

• Teaching: contribute to our teaching offerings
  (e.g., course "Human Computer Interaction" or HCI seminars)
• Student mentoring: co-supervise students during bachelor's and master's theses

Essential qualifications:

• established full paper publication record in the core communities of Human-Computer Interaction and/or Ubicomp
• strong desire to work on research for dissemination at ACM CHI, UIST, IMWUT
• demonstrated experience in input detection (e.g., interaction techniques, sensors & signal processing, controllers)
• strong interpersonal and communication skills
• positive attitude toward collaborative work and learning of novel technologies
• past contributions to teaching at a university
  (e.g., as teaching assistant, co-lecturer, seminar organizer)

ETH requirements:
