Postdoctoral Researcher in Ability-Based Tailoring of Interactive Devices - Aarhus University

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.

• 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.
