*/Task description/*
Recent controversies surrounding mobile maps have highlighted the 
importance of cartography to human-computer interaction (HCI) and 
information visualization on mobile devices. However, despite the 
prominent role of “map apps”, they have not yet been robustly examined 
with a lens informed by the decades of relevant research in the field of 
cartography. Moreover, principles and best practices established 
cartography have largely not been integrated with the work of “GeoHCI” 
and Geo UX researchers and practitioners. Drawing on the 
well-established literature of academic cartography and research in 
mobile HCI, you will then identify, and implement, and evaluate 
potential solutions.

*/Profile/*

  * Enthusiastic applicants with excellent study results are invited to
    apply. Successful applicants have a keen interest in the
    HCI-research topics at EDM and can work independently as well as in
    team.
  * As the HCI research in EDM is strongly software oriented, the
    successful candidate should have solid knowledge of and experience
    with software development.
  * The candidate has knowledge of software development on the Android
    OS for mobile devices.
  * The candidate has knowledge of and/or experience with usability
    design, preferentially on mobile devices.
  * The candidate is interested in maps, cartography and spatial
    information.
  * The candidate has a very good knowledge of English.

*/Diploma/*
Candidates should have a master degree in computer science, a civil 
engineer degree in computer science or equivalent. Students, who expect 
to complete these studies during the summer, are also invited to apply.
