We are studying science teams through the lens of interaction and activity to better understand the pace and cadence of scientific projects. (More specifically, we've been using trace data in the forms of email, meeting transcripts, and wiki/team room artifacts to examine social interaction and conversational topics and themes for patterns over time.) Full posting: https://krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGWebHost/jobdetails.aspx?partnerid=26059&siteid=5016&AReq=29486BR Description: The Accelerated Discovery Lab at IBM Research - Almaden has an opening for a Summer Intern. The focus of the research is the use of qualitative and quantitative data to gain insight into team interaction and project patterns to then proactively support individual and team work. We apply in-depth analysis of structured and unstructured digital trace data, information sharing, and work practices to explore the temporal and interactional evolution of research and discovery practices. Candidates must possess in-depth problem solving skills with an ability to analyze work and business practices from both micro and macro perspectives, as well as the ability to identify and prototype new solutions. Preference will be given to those with experience researching and analyzing scientific communication, collaboration, and information sharing. Highly desirable skills include network analysis, basic programming, rapid prototyping, ethnographic methods, and experience with one or more aspects of data handling (curation, wrangling, mining, analysis, or visualization). One or more publications is expected from the internship work. Required: Programming: basic knowledge Statistical analysis (e.g., using R, SPSS): 1 year Network analysis (e.g., using Gephi): 1 year Lexical analysis (e.g., using Leximancer, System T): 1 year Altmetrics (e.g., citation impact metrics, scientometrics): 6 months Preferred: Python: applied knowledge Social phenomena analysis: applied Regards, Laura Laura Challman Anderson PhD Team Science Researcher Accelerated Discovery Lab, IBM Research - Almaden -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Migrating heritage is a feature of our globalised world, characterized by emerging challenges of social inclusion and new roles for cultural institutions (Innocenti, 2015). Communication and information technologies are changing the dynamics and scope of memory construction, display and understanding in a networked society (Castells, 2010). In this context a number of issues associated with cultural heritage information systems and services are yet to be adequately addressed, for example in relation to content organization and access, users outreach and sustainability (Ruthven and Chowdhury 2015). This opens the possibility for local cultural institutions to gain a greater understanding of migrants? individual and community needs in relation to their services, address shortfalls in collections, and contribute to cultural citizenship (Delanty 2007). Project objectives includes: * Exploring novel methods and tools to embed, manage, access and re?use migrant?s tangible and intangible heritage in local cultural institutions collections and services; * Investigating information seeking behaviours, perceptions and attitudes of migrants and minority groups in relation to local cultural institutions; * Enhancing current social inclusion practices in local cultural institutions. The PGR student will work with local institutions so that impact measures can be developed. The PGR student will join the vibrant research environment of the iSchool at University of Northumbria, Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences, (https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/academic-departments/mathematics-and-information-sciences/ ), part of the iSchools organization worldwide (http://ischools.org/) dedicated to advancing the information field. Northumbria iSchool explores innovative ways and contexts in which digital information is used, created, managed, preserved. The PGR student will also have access to the new cutting-edge iLab for Web and mobile usability studies, data analytics, and internet of things. Funding Notes The studentship includes a full stipend, paid for three years at RCUK rates (in 2016/17 this is ?14,296 pa) and fees (Home/EU ?4,350 / International ?13,000). Eligibility and How to Apply Please note eligibility requirement: ? academic excellence i.e. 2:1 (or equivalent GPA from non-UK universities [preference for 1st class honours]); or a Masters with distinction. ? Appropriate IELTS score, if required.
