We are looking for talented students who are interested in applying for 
this competitive position to join our project for the summer.  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.)

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
