Where to look for academic opportunities

Use HCI, human–computer interaction, interaction design, design research, human factors and accessibility as starting search terms. Prioritise research and teaching opportunities, then check the institution’s vacancy page for definitive requirements and deadlines.

Discovery sources checked 17 October 2026. These links open external job boards; they are not an automatically imported vacancy feed.

Before investing time in an application

Compare the person specification with evidence from your work. Check contract length, salary basis, location, working arrangements and essential qualifications. Do not infer visa sponsorship or remote work from a university’s international profile.

Prepare a short account of your research or teaching interests, relevant methods and a project you can discuss critically. Explain your contribution, what you learned and what remains uncertain. The poster guide and conference guidance can help you communicate your research.
