Summer Student Human Computer Interaction Research Experience, Stuttgart, Germany

Posted January 5, 2015

The Human Computer Interaction labs at the University of New Hampshire and the University of Stuttgart are co-organizing a summer HCI student research experience. We are now inviting applications for the summer of 2015. We expect that 3 undergraduate and 3 graduate students  will conduct research for just under 9 weeks at the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab of Professor Albrecht Schmidt at the University of Stuttgart (http://www.hcilab.org). The program is funded by the NSF through its International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program.

Student research within the UNH IRES program will focus on developing and testing tools for estimating cognitive load in the domains of in-vehicle user interfaces, knowledge acquisition, speech interfaces, or similar areas.

Successful applicants will receive full financial support for participation, covering items such as airfare, room and board, health insurance, as well as a $500/week stipend. The total value of the financial package is approximately $8,500 for 9 weeks.

Details about the program, including application instructions, are available at http://hciunh.org/unh-ires. Please note that this program is only available to US citizens and permanent residents.
