/></p> <p>The last decade has seen an unheralded increase in neurodivergence (autism, ADHD and dyslexia). For example, the number of diagnosed cases of autism spectrum disorder in the UK doubled between 2012 and 2018 (Russell et al., 2022). Some of this increase may be the result of greater awareness; however, our world is increasingly information-dense, and this may also be a contributing factor. </p> <p>Autism can present challenges during education, at work and during leisure or play. For many neurodiverse people, for example, bright colours and loud sounds, for example, can be distracting or even distressing. Whereas colour blindness has been widely studied, resulting in glasses to correct colour blindness and filters for use in computer games for example, by comparison little attention has focused on the problems of neurodivergence, especially in the adult population.</p> <p>This PhD will understand the requirements of neurodiverse adults from a colour perspective and then will explore ways to use digital filters that can modify computer displays. This will provide neurodiverse people with a personalised and more acceptable experience at work, in education or when playing computer games and watching movies.</p> <p>The research questions addressed in this project are:</p> <ol> <li>What are the issues that neurodiverse adults have with colour in gaming, cinema and the workplace? </li> <li>Can we design a set of digital transformations (or filters) that reduce or eliminate the most problematic aspect of colour.</li> <li>Identity routes for impact of digital colour filters in display including mobile devices.</li> </ol> <p><br /> The successful applicant will join the<a href="https://www.leeds.ac.uk/leeds-institute-textiles-colour"> Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC)</a>, a collaborative international research Institute that applies academic expertise, working together with external partners, both industrial from across the world, to address global challenges and sustainable development in textile and colour industries. We are focused on the development of innovative science and technology, materials, methods and processes. Technology-driven sustainable development is a major part of our work, hosted by the<a href="https://ahc.leeds.ac.uk/design"> School of Design</a> at the University of Leeds. </p> <p>The School of Design is a world leading research centre with a focus in creativity and developing innovative materials and manufacturing solutions with interdisciplinary researchers and industrial partners.</p> <p>This project will take advantage of the existing links with industry, particularly with high-profile manufacturers of display technology. It will also be an opportunity to establish connections with new companies, potentially in the gaming, education and entertainment sectors. </p> <p>The post-holder will also join the vibrant LITAC researcher community, who meet in sessions that are designed to enhance additional skills relevant to their academic career.</p> <p>Topics include, developing speaking and presentation skills, delivering compelling research posters, maximising the use of a travel allowance and more.</p>

<p><strong>Duration of the Award</strong></p> <ul> <li>Full-time (3 years), pro-rata for part-time. The award will be made for one year in the first instance and renewable for a further period of up to 2 and a half years (pro-rata for part-time), subject to satisfactory academic progress. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Funding</strong></p> <ul> <li>Full Fees </li> <li>Maintenance (£19,237 in Session 2024/25 for full-time study, part-time will be pro-rata at 60%). This amount increases per annum in line with the Research Council UK rate.</li> <li>Please be aware that any expenses related to the relocation of international students to the UK (visa, insurance, NHS fees, flights, etc) would be their responsibility and is not covered by this award.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Other Conditions</strong></p> <ul> <li>Awards must be taken up by 1st of October 2025.</li> <li>The awards are available for new Postgraduate Researchers undertaking full-time or part-time research study leading to the degree of PhD. Students who are already registered for PhD research study are excluded from applying. </li> <li>Applicants must live within a reasonable distance of the University of Leeds whilst in receipt of this scholarship.</li> </ul>
