Postdoctoral Researcher in Ability-Based Tailoring of Interactive Devices at Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University Full-time

Postdoctoral Researcher in Ability-Based Tailoring of Interactive Devices

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join the ABLE project (Ability-Based Tailoring of Interactive Devices), an AUFF-funded research project developing a platform that enables users to tailor the physical and multimodal properties of interactive devices to their own perceptual and motor abilities. The position is for 1 year, starting from 1 October 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

You will contribute to the design and implementation of the ABLE platform, including software development, possibly some hardware prototyping, and evaluation with users. A key focus will be developing optimization-driven approaches to multimodal device tailoring.

We are looking for someone with:

• A PhD in Human-Computer Interaction or a closely related field
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, C++, or equivalent)
• Experience with 3D modelling, rendering, or fabrication, and haptic feedback
• Familiarity with computational or optimization methods applied to interaction (e.g., computational UI, model-based input, or similar)
• An interest in ability-based design, tailorability, or multimodal interaction
• Experience with physical computing, haptic devices, or novel input is an advantage but not required.

The place of work is Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University – Åbogade 34, 8200 Aarhus N. DK.

For further information please contact Associate Professor Eve Hoggan.

All applications must be received no later than 8 July 2026.

The application must be submitted via Aarhus University's recruitment system.
