Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA

*Position Description*

The DiVE Lab at the Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science 
Departments of Duke University is seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral 
Associate in the areas of Virtual/Augmented Reality and/or 
Human-Computer Interaction. The specific appointment will be with 
Professor Regis Kopper. The Postdoctoral Associate will work on the

interfaces, including mixed reality simulation, situation awareness 
tools and cognitive aids for first responders in Fire Safety, Police and 
Emergency Medical Services.

Specific tasks for the postdoctoral associate will include:

  * Work in partnership with public safety agencies to elicit
    requirements; design and prototyping of interaction techniques and
    user interfaces in virtual reality for the simulation of next
    generation public safety user interfaces; evaluation of the
    prototypes with the first responder target populations.
  * Lead undergraduate and graduate student research with the DiVE lab.
  * Significantly contribute to grant proposal writing and submission.

*Qualifications*

Applicants should have, or are about to complete, a Ph.D. or equivalent

  * Experience with human-computer interaction research, including
    requirement analysis, human-centered design and user studies.
  * Experience with virtual and/or augmented reality design and development.
  * Ability to spec, install and maintain VR/AR hardware.

The following are desirable qualifications:

  * Record of research results at an international level.
  * Experience with physical prototyping, such as 3D printing and
    laser-cutting technologies.
  * Familiarity with maintenance and operation of cluster-based CAVE
    systems.
