We are seeking a postgraduate research student to
join the VESEL Project (Village e-science for
Life) a EPSRC-funded research project commencing
in October 2006. The aim of VESEL is to explore
and develop participatory methods for developing
novel solutions for ICT in rural communities in
sub-Saharan Africa, with particular emphasis upon the educational barriers.
The initial normal place of work will be the
Slough Campus but the candidate will have the
opportunity to spend some periods, distributed
over the project life within an African context
as well as site visits to Kenya.
Candidates should have a good BSc or MSc degree
in a computing discipline with a significant HCI
component. They should also have a keen interest
in understanding African cultures and a knowledge
of KisSwahili would be an advantage.
Closing date: 5 November, 2006.
Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Lynne
Dunckley (Lynne.Dunckley_at_tvu.ac.uk)
