The IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) invites applications for several =
PhD scholarships starting in September 2009 in the following areas:
Study of digital culture, digital media, mediated interpersonal =
communication and the way we use a variety of digital media in our =
everyday lives for social, practical and expressive purposes. We focus =
on the uses of mobile communication and online media, in both national =
and international contexts, addressing the interplay of local and global =
phenomena.
Game aesthetics, game ontology, games and narratives, game culture, game =
play, player communities, games and human computer interfaces/game =

mobile tracking of eye-gaze, body posture, hand gestures, and everyday =
object manipulation and society.
Tools, methods and processes for software development, including =
programming and modeling languages, requirements, architecture, =
empirical studies, and software for user interface design, pervasive =
computing and decision support.
Efficient solutions to computationally hard problems, algorithms for =
