www.jobb.umu.se2 PhD positions in Industrial Design with a focus on Interaction Design for Mobile Services
Description of the research environment
Umeå Institute of Design at Umeå University, recently named Center of Excellence in Higher Education 2008, is one of Sweden's few design education environments with post-graduate studies in industrial design. Umeå Institute of Design is also a strong player in the formation of the new Umeå Arts Campus at Umeå University.
Umeå Institute of Design now establishes itself as a leading player in design research and is now making a strategic investment in basic research in the design field. As part of building a strong research environment where fundamental questions about design meet the surrounding society's need for knowledge we’re launching a number of new PhD positions.
As a PhD student at Umeå Institute of Design you are expected to work closely with our research group, Umeå Design Research Group, which currently consists of 10 researchers. Based on the current issues in design research, you will focus on interaction design for mobile services in close collaboration with our partners including CDT - Center for Distance-spanning Technology at LTU, Ericsson Research, TeliaSonera, and others.
