Netherlands: Post doctoral position in Creative Design, Eindhoven University of Technology

Overview

This 1-year post doctoral position on the topic of “Creative design for innovation in science and technology” falls within the Marie Curie DESIRE initial training network.

DESIRE aims to make theoretical contributions to the field of creative design by bringing together expertise in human computer interaction, psychology, arts and design. The network aims to advance our understanding of creative design processes. This will lead to the elaboration of (i) theories and models of creative processes in general, and those involved in creative problem solving in particular, and (ii) a toolbox of methods, techniques and systems to support both creative design processes and creativity training.

The network places particular emphasis on the research training to be provided to successful candidates. Thus, each researcher will benefit from a wide ranging training program that will take advantage of both local and network wide activities, as well as of conferences and summer schools. For more information please see http://www.desirenetwork.eu/
