Open positions - Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researched in Engaging Media and Technologies
Very happy to be able to announce our open positions in the Research Centre at both Doctoral and Postdoctoral levels! ✨
I’m especially excited about these calls because they’re quite open in terms of both topics and methods. If your work touches on things like games, gamification, XR/VR, GenAI, conversational agents, bioadaptive media, sustainability or climate engagement... or anything we might have missed with these keywords but you find relevant... :) consider applying and joining us in Tampere, or at least sharing with others who might be interested!

Open Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researcher positions — Gamification / Games / XR / GenAI / Emerging Media for Engagement with Sustainable Futures
The Research Centre of Gameful Realities at Tampere University is looking for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to join our work on engaging media and technologies for prosocial, sustainable, and transformative applications.
We welcome applicants interested in how emerging media and interactive technologies — such as virtual and extended reality, gamification, gameful systems, artificial intelligence, conversational agents, bioadaptive technologies, and other experiential technologies — can help people reflect, learn, collaborate, and engage with complex societal challenges. Some of the positions are connected to CLIMETA: Meta-engagement in Metaverse, while others reflect research within the broader theme of engaging technologies.
The positions are suitable for applicants with a background in, for example, computer science, human-computer interaction, affective computing, information systems, cognitive science, media and communication studies, design, health technology, behavioural sciences, education, economics, or human-environment interaction. We welcome both theoretically ambitious and empirically rigorous doctoral projects, including those combining different approaches such as technology development, experimental research, qualitative inquiry, design, and public engagement.
The selected researchers will join an interdisciplinary and international research environment at the Research Centre of Gameful Realities, working at the intersection of technology, experience, society, and sustainability.
