I am pleased to announce immediate availability of a competitive 12-month\u00a0iPhD research assistantships in Human-Centered Design program for both the\u00a0Spring 2015 and the Fall 2015.<\/p>\n

Virginia Tech’s new individualized Human-Centered Design (HCD) iPhD
\ntransdisciplinary degree is closely aligned with the newfound Institute for\u00a0Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT). iPhD is a degree designed primarily\u00a0to support individually tailored PhD experiences, allowing students to\u00a0actively participate in shaping their plan of study. The GAship in question\u00a0seeks candidates with a solid research background, and a strong sense of\u00a0independence and self-sufficiency.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We are particularly seeking students
\ninterested in sonification, sound spatialization, and interactive
\ntechnologies (e.g. mind-body technologies, laptop\/mobile ensembles,
\nhyperinstruments, installations, mobile\/wearable computing, etc.).
\nCandidates must possess a strong knowledge of Max and Pd\/Pd-L2Ork
\nprogramming environments. C\/C++ programming (or equivalent) is also
\npreferred, as well as skills in other domains (e.g. interactive multimedia,
\nK-12 education, 3D animation, etc.).<\/p>\n

This is a 12-month renewable assistantship with a full tuition waiver and
\none of the highest paying stipends at Virginia Tech. To be eligible
\ncandidates need to apply, be accepted, and enroll in the new HCD iPhD
\nprogram with primary focus in the computer music domain focusing on one or\u00a0more of the aforesaid areas of interest.<\/p>\n

The successful candidate will be given an opportunity to participate in
\nconducting reserarch using the cutting edge 145 speaker system and consequently\u00a0its innovative spatialization, sonification, and immersion approaches in the new\u00a0$100M Moss Arts Center and more specifically Institute for Creativity, Arts, and\u00a0Technology’s three-story Cube space and its smaller counterpart, the\u00a0immersive Perform Studio, as well as the new DISIS facilities that are coming online
\nthis fall. They will also work closely with ICAT faculty and
\nstudents on a number of collaborative projects, including Tech or Treat,
\nMAKEr camps, the upcoming SEAMUS conference, and other ICATinitiatives.<\/p>\n
