The Work, Interaction & Technology group at King’s College London is keen to support strong students to apply for fully funded, full-time PhD studentships to start in October 2025. Candidates will be keen to undertake video-based studies of work, interaction and technology and have an interest in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. Recent students at WIT have explored studies of healthcare and optometry, rope access training, beauty treatments, kitchens, open plan offices, classrooms, museums and galleries, and more. We are interested in a wide range of organisational settings, including operating theatres, control rooms, design studios, museums, health care consultations and auction houses. Members of WIT also have interests in a diverse range of technologies including robotics, video-mediated interaction, augmented technologies and artificial intelligence. The first round of applications closes on 1st December 2024, so please contact one of the potential supervisors as soon as possible to prepare a strong application: Sylvaine Tuncer (sylvaine.tuncer@kcl.ac.uk), Dirk vom Lehn (dirk.vom_lehn@kcl.ac.uk), Paul Luff (paul.luff@kcl.ac.uk), or Jon Hindmarsh (jon.hindmarsh@kcl.ac.uk).
