> Professor in Digital game development

>

> Placed at the School of Computing, in Karlskrona

>

> Registration number 421-0967-2010

> Work description:

>

> Digital game development concerns the development of simulation,  

> visualization and user experience environments with which users  

> interact using a broad range of technologies, where experiences may  

> be informed by principles of game, simulation and/or narrative  

> design. The Game Systems and Interaction Research Laboratory (GSIL)  

> at BTH conducts research in the area of digital game development  

> according to two perspectives representing core values:

>

>    * technology-driven innovation in game and interactive system  

> concepts, interaction mechanics,, systems, supporting technologies,  

> development processes and applications,

>    * scientific and empirical studies of game and systems  

> interaction in order to develop systematic and grounded  

> understanding of the needs, affects and consequences of system use.

>

> The successful candidate is expected to primarily perform research  

> and teaching within one or several of the following competence areas  

> applied to digital game development:

>

>    * Human and computational cognition, augmented cognition, and/or  

> neural engineering

>    * Pervasive computing, ubiquitous computing, and/or ambient  

> intelligence

>    * Believable synthetic characters and human interaction with  

> artificial life systems

>    * Robotics and human/robot interaction

>    * Empirical and scientific studies and evaluations of system  

> interaction

>    * New and emerging architectures, technologies and methodologies  

> for visualization, simulation and interactive systems development  

> (e.g. augmented reality, ambient intelligence, virtual reality, new  

> rendering methods, physical rendering, biometric interfaces,  

> procedural generation, etc.)

>

> The holder of the position is expected to perform research, teach,  

> advise students on all levels, collaborate with industry and apply  

> for research funding. The teaching is primarily in digital game  

> development and interaction design, but may also include related  

> areas such as computer science. Teaching is conducted in English on  

> the Master level and in Swedish on the Bachelor level. Initially the  

> successful candidates should be able to teach at least in English.  

> It is expected that the successful candidate is willing and able to  

> become proficient in Swedish.
