This PhD opportunity at The University of Manchester focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in the context of data visualisation. Data visualisations are essential tools for communicating complex information and are widely used in research publications, posters, and presentations. The project is based in the Department of Computer Science, offering access to a vibrant research community and state-of-the-art facilities.

Supervised by a team including Mr G Strain, Prof A Stewart, Prof C Jay, and Dr P Warren, the research will explore how people interact with data visualisations, aiming to improve usability, comprehension, and user experience. The work may involve designing new visualisation tools, conducting user studies, and developing novel interaction techniques. The project is ideal for candidates interested in HCI, user experience, information design, and visual analytics.

Applicants should have a strong academic background in Computer Science or a closely related field. Experience or interest in HCI, data visualisation, or user experience design is desirable. The position does not specify funding availability, so candidates are encouraged to check the university website or contact the department for potential funding options.

Applications are accepted year-round, providing flexibility for prospective students. To apply, review the project details on the FindAPhD website and submit your application through The University of Manchester's online portal. For further information, contact the Department of Computer Science or the listed supervisors.

This position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to the advancement of data visualisation and HCI, working within a leading UK institution and collaborating with experienced researchers.
