INTEL INTERN POSITION 2004: Urban Probes

Parks, sidewalks, subways, parking meters, strangers – all are part of our public urban landscape. How will the future fabric of digital and wireless computing influence, disrupt, and integrate into the social patterns existent in such urban public places?

Intel Research Berkeley has an open Intern position for the summer 2004 to explore and research several themes of Urban Computing using the techniques of Urban Probes. Interns should be adept at rapidly exploring and deconstructing typical urban landscapes, experienced in design sketching and prototyping, possess creative brain and body storming skills, proficiently with computer programming, and manifest an unbridled passion for urban computing based research.

We are looking for talented, qualified candidates pursing research in the areas of HCI, user-centered design, interaction design, art practice, design, and/or evaluation techniques and ethnography. Applicants with experience building physical systems, including fabricating prototypes, workshop experience, and familiarity with sensor and actuator integration with microcontrollers are strongly encouraged. Similarly, we are seeking individuals with experience conducting both qualitative and quantitative user studies, including analysis of the resulting data. Most importantly, we are seeking open minded, creative individuals passionate about designing novel physical artifacts and evaluating them in their natural setting.

All applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate degree program.
