We are seeking for a Research Associate to work as a part of a small interdisciplinary project team, to undertake activities in the web-located software development phase of Fit2Drive, a recently awarded Road Safety Trust project (https://www.roadsafetytrust.org.uk/news/new-technologies-for-assessing-eld erly-drivers-road-safety-31121). The project aims to develop a new way to assess driving safety in elderly drivers and drivers affected by neurodegenerative disorders. We will collect data from trial participants using telematics devices and interface them with a mobile application for the drivers and a web-located application for health professionals, so they can see their patients' driving behaviour. You must have practice of client and server-side web application development (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.Js React etc.) and user-centred design, at PhD level or equivalent practice.

The Group has created three spinout companies in the area of data capturing and management (K-Now Ltd), mobility tracking (Aeqora) and telematics (The Floow). In summary this is an ideal function for a person interested in Information Visualisation and User-Centred Design, as it offers the opportunity to design, develop and evaluate an interface with users in an innovative area (driving behaviour analysis) that will lead to publications and will deliver real-world impact in road safety.
