This position offers an excellent opportunity for candidates interested in pursuing graduate studies or research careers in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), data visualisation, or UX design. Key Responsibilities • Design and conduct online user studies and co-design sessions. • Develop interactive data visualisations and experimental web interfaces. • Collect, clean, and analyse qualitative and quantitative data using statistical software. • Conduct literature reviews and synthesise prior research. • Document research progress and maintain project records. • Prepare reports, presentations, and draft research papers for publication. • Coordinate logistics for participant recruitment, study scheduling, and data management. Grade: 19.

## Requirements

Preferred qualifications: • Prior experience conducting user studies or human-subject experiments. • Experience with data visualisation tools or libraries (e.g., D3.js, Chart.js, Highcharts, Tableau, Flourish). • Experience developing interactive web applications (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python/Flask, or Node.js). • Demonstrated experience in academic research (e.g., literature reviews, paper writing, data analysis). • Arabic language proficiency, given the cultural and linguistic focus of the project.
