DL just around the corner! Apply by May 15 if you're interested in advancing research on theory translation and games

Elisa Mekler @elisamekler.bsky.social · Mar 21

Is your PhD research on game design, game production, HCI, or design theory? I've got three 2-year postdoc positions in my ERC StG project to investigate what makes theory useful and usable in game design / interaction design.

Reposts much appreciated. Thx!

I am seeking 1-2 PhD students and 1-2 postdocs to work on theory in HCI, say, how the field uses theory, how to make theories more impactful in HCI, and how to develop better technology using theory. The deadline is June 9th, see shorturl.at/4FTkQ and shorturl.at/6DlA5. Please share or apply 🙏 🇩🇰🎓😃

🎨🧠 How do creatives really capture ideas on the fly?

New TOCHI paper finds idea capture for creative practitioners is fast, messy, and wildly different across creative domains. ⚡Yet all prioritize capturing ideas quickly, even if it disrupts order.
