CHI Announcement: Call to Qualified HCI PhD Applicants

The PhD Program in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the Indiana 
University School of Informatics and Computing (SoIC), Indianapolis 
(IUPUI) is seeking outstanding applicants to join our program in Fall 
2014. Applications are due March 1, 2014. 
http://soic.iupui.edu/graduate/hci/phd/

THE PROGRAM: The Ph.D. program in HCI resides in the Department of 
Human-Centered Computing, a new and growing department in SoIC that 
includes HCI, Media Arts and Science, and Informatics. HCC and 
specifically our program in human-computer interaction strongly promote 
interdisciplinary research at the cutting edge of computing, encouraging 
collaborations with colleagues in the health and life sciences and the 
other disciplines housed within the School, as well as with faculty from 
other units across the IUPUI campus and from the broader Indianapolis 
business community.

THE SCHOOL: The IU School of Informatics and Computing has been a 
pioneer, establishing the first program in Informatics in the nation and 
the first to house a HCI program. SoIC offers three Ph.D. programs 
(Health Informatics, Bioinformatics, and Human-Computer Interaction), 
four Master?s programs (Health Informatics, Bioinformatics, 
Human-Computer Interaction, and Media Arts & Science), and three 
Baccalaureate programs (Informatics, Health Information Administration, 
and Media Arts & Science). Nearly 1,000 students are enrolled in the 
school's programs, with faculty and students enjoying state-of-the art 
facilities and access to Indiana University?s extensive investments in 
scholarly cyberinfrastructure.

THE UNIVERSITY: SoIC is situated on the IUPUI campus, also known as the 
Indiana University Medical Center Campus. The campus is home to the IU 
School of Medicine, the second largest medical school in the US, as well 
as four hospitals. During FY 2011-12, the IUPUI campus was awarded over 
$400M in 2010 for funded research, much of it in the health and life 
sciences. The campus is located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, a 
thriving, mid-sized Midwestern city with abundant cultural, sports, and 
historical attractions and home to a number of high-tech companies with 
relationships to the School, including Eli Lilly & Company, ExactTarget. 
IU Health.

The research areas currently pursued by our HCI faculty include:

· Ubiquitous computing and pervasive sensing for healthcare

· Medical and clinical system design

· Philanthropic informatics

· Search user interfaces and information-seeking behavior

· User experience modeling and design for web, mobile, and wall-sized 
computing

· Team cognition and technology-enabled decision science

· Android science and developmental robotics

· Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired

FUNDING opportunities for students are available. Our faculty?s research 
is supported by the NSF, NIH, Google, the MacArthur Foundation, and 
other sources.
