ENDS: Explainability of Non-Deterministic Solvers
Applications are sought for Research Studentships (PhD) in Computational Intelligence at Robert Gordon University (RGU) and at University of Stirling (UoS). This proposal is a cutting-edge investigation into explaining the decisions of commonly-used solvers for optimization problems. Two PhD students, one at RGU and one at UoS, will be working on theoretical problems as well as with real-world case studies furnished by our industrial partners, BT and ARR Craib Ltd.
Deadline: 12 noon Friday 10 April 2020
Applications should be emailed to Kate Lines at CSDM-ResearchAdmin@rgu.ac.uk. The applications should consist of a covering letter or personal statement of interest and a CV. Further information such as passport details or transcripts may be requested during the short-listing stage. Interviews will take place at RGU in Aberdeen in the week commencing 27 April 2020. All enquiries should be addressed jointly to Prof. John McCall, j.mccall@rgu.ac.uk and Dr. Alexander Brownlee, alexander.brownlee@stir.ac.uk
Computer Graphics and 3D Visualization
Applications are sought for a fully funded Research Studentship (PhD) in the School of Computing Science and Digital Media Robert Gordon University. The primary aim of the proposed research will design and develop a multidisciplinary framework to aid communication, public engagement and informed decision making in tourism through the novel application of Computer Graphics and HCI technologies.
Deadline: 12 noon Sunday 31 May 2020

Augmented Fashion: Immersive Interactions for Sustainable Heritage in Fashion and Textiles
Applications are sought for a fully funded Research Studentship (PhD) in the School of Computing Science and Digital Media Robert Gordon University. The proposed research will work alongside a newly-funded AHRC research project within the School of Computing Science and Digital Media. This project, entitled: 'Augmented Fashion: Immersive Interactions for Sustainable Heritage in Fashion and Textiles', seeks to explore ways to educate the consumer about the sustainability, craftsmanship, heritage and value of traditional fashion and textile products, using a variety of media such as immersive and other HCI technologies.
Deadline: 12 noon Sunday 31 May 2020
Applications should be emailed to CSDM-ResearchAdmin@rgu.ac.uk. The applications should consist of a covering letter or personal statement of interest and a CV. Further information such as passport details or transcripts may be requested during the short-listing stage.
