We have an opening for a fully funded 4-year PhD student position to work with me on a project entitled "Escaping `Death by GPS': Foundations for Adaptive Navigation Assistance”.

This project will investigate the adaptive power of navigation services to improve their safety, reliability, ease of use, and their support of spatial knowledge acquisition. It will use an analytical approach that combines reasoning and spatial analysis methods to calculate differences in importance and complexity of locations along a route, whereas importance and complexity will be grounded in findings in cognitive science. These differences along a route will be reflected in adaptive instructions that will also express the likelihood of matching users’ understanding of the situation. Research will be iterative, combining theoretical analysis, prototype implementations, and empirical human-subject studies.

Application deadline is January 3rd, 2019.
