We invite applications from promising early-career academics for a 
fixed-term (two years) position of Research Fellow of Information 
Systems at University of Tartu's Institute of Computer Science -

The successful candidate will conduct research in the recently started 
H2020 Project "Pilots for Healthy and Active Ageing”:

The research fellow will contribute to the elicitation of requirements 
in this pan-European project by applying state-of-the-art methods and 
techniques from the field of requirements engineering and interaction 
design. As the project deals with older adults, explicit attention 
should be paid to emotional (affective) user requirements, in addition 
to functional and non-functional user requirements.

Candidates must have a PhD in Information Systems, Computer Science, or 
a related discipline. Expertise in the field of requirements engineering 
and/or interaction design is highly desirable.
