<span style="font-size:12.0pt">The goal of the Human Factors and Aging Laboratory is to support successful aging for people of all abilities, through design for aging research in healthcare, social engagement, and everyday activities. The laboratory is funded
by the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research. The research for this position will focus on human-robot interaction, very broadly defined. Specific projects will be determined
based on shared interests but will involve assistive robots, social robots, telepresence robots, or personal robots to support the needs of older adults. Projects are guided by theory, methodologically sound, and advance both fundamental knowledge and practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
