In the Diverse-ability Interaction Lab, we are diverse team (pun intended!) of Postdocs, PhDs, Master students and interns and visitors. We are always on the look out for talented individuals to join our team.
We are excited to share that Oussama has been awarded an ERC Consolidator grant. The grant will fund an interdisciplinary team for 5 years to research inclusive technologies for the early cognitive and social development of blind and sighted children. We are now recruiting for additional postdoctoral and PhD positions in the areas of fabrication, multisensory interaction, crossmodal cognition and design. Check the inclusiveXplay page for more details, or get in touchfor a chat if this sounds interesting to you.
