LoGaCulture: Locative Games for Cultural Heritage” is a substantial international multidisciplinary research project funded by EU Horizon and the UKRI. The team at Southampton University requires a research fellow to assist them in the final 2 years of the project to pursue world leading research in the design and development of locative mixed reality games for cultural heritage.

The team at Southampton, based within the School of Humanities and also Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), is leading the development of mixed reality cultural heritage games at the National Trust site at Avebury, and will prototype suitable technology, work with designers to create the games, and evaluate the visitor experience.

**About you**

You will undertake the research under the guidance of the principal and co-investigators and in collaboration with the wider international research team. You will have the opportunity to research the state of the art, help to design world leading novel mixed reality games, work with creatives and technical experts to make those games a reality, evaluate the user and author experience, write relevant research papers and articles, and present the work at international conferences and meetings.

You will be managed and supported by Prof. James Jordan in the School of Humanities, but will be located within ECS on Highfield Campus and day to day management will be provided by the LoGaCulture Principle Investigator, Prof. David Millard.
