The interAction research group at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) at the University of Trento, Italy offers a scholarship for a PhD position. We are looking for a talented student enthusiast about Interaction Design and excited to work in a multidisciplinary team. The successful student will be supervised by prof. Antonella De Angeli and prof. Vincenzo D’Andrea.

Possible research areas include but are not limited to:
Public design for social innovation
Inclusive design
Aesthetics and interactive art
Musical interface design
Interested students are encouraged to send their CV along with a statement of research interest, publications (if any), a motivation letter, and the name of three possible referees to morreale@disi.unitn.it by May, 17th.

About interAction.
interAction is an international and interdisciplinary research group composed by psychologists, computer scientists, sociologists, cognitive scientists, anthropologists, artists, musicians, and designers with a common interest in the design of interactive systems. The interAction group designs and implements public, inclusive and aesthetic interactive artefacts and analyses technology through sociotechnical lenses, with special emphasis on ethical and societal challenges related to digital technologies. The research pursued by interAction is mainly focused on digital commons, methods for public design, active ageing, childhood digital literacy, territorial care services, smart cities, musical interface design, interactive and computational art, and video game design. In practical terms, the group blends case studies and theoretical analysis with empirical answers based both on scenarios of use and design solutions. In this process, technology is not considered as a goal by itself, but as a powerful tool to address themes which have an impact on people and society. This approach is heavily influenced by participatory design, where people do not only take an active role in the design process but also have decision-making power.

The interAction group was founded in 2014 within the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) of the University of Trento, a medium-size university located in the autonomous Italian region of Trentino/Alto Adige. DISI has 1200 students, 45 professors, 91 researchers, 190 Ph.D. students and 16 administrative assistants. In the last ten years, DISI has been constantly ranking among the top Italian Departments based on internationalization, research productivity and capability to attract funding. Since 2008, DISI has worked on about 280 European, National and Local projects, attracting around 28 million euros of research funding. Since 2010, the department is part of the Italian node of the European Institute of Technology (EIT).

Informal enquiries are also welcome and may be addressed to Dr. Fabio Morreale on morreale@disi.unitn.it

The University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce a new initiative, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) Visiting Research Fellowship program. Guided by the vision of its founders, Lawrence J. Schoenberg and Barbara Brizdle Schoenberg, SIMS aims to bring manuscript culture, modern technology, and people together to provide access to and understanding of our shared intellectual heritage. Part of the Penn Libraries, SIMS oversees an extensive collection of pre-modern manuscripts from around the world, with a special focus on the history of philosophy and science, and creates open-access digital content to support the study of its collections.  SIMS also hosts the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts and the annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, now in its eighth year.

The SIMS Visiting Research Fellowships have been established to encourage research relating to the pre-modern manuscript collections at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, including the Schoenberg Collection.  Affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, located near other manuscript-rich research collections (the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and the Rosenbach Museum and Library, among many others), and linked to the local and international scholarly communities, SIMS offers fellows a network of resources and opportunities for collaboration. Fellows will be encouraged to interact with SIMS staff, Penn faculty, and other medieval and early modern scholars in the Philadelphia area. Fellows will also be expected to present their research at Penn Libraries either during the term of the fellowship or on a selected date following the completion of the term.

Applicants can apply to spend 1, 2, or 3 months at SIMS. Project proposals should demonstrate that the Libraries’ pre-modern manuscript resources are integral to proposed research topics. Recipients will be expected to work on-site at Penn Libraries for the duration of their fellowship, excluding possible short research trips in support of the proposed project to nearby institutions. Proposals with a digital component are encouraged though not required. A total of $15,000 per year will be divided among up to 3 fellows in increments of $5,000 per month. Awards must be used between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016.

Applications are due May 15, 2015. For more information on eligibility and the application process, go to: http://schoenberginstitute.org/visiting-research-fellowships.
