FULL-TIME SENIOR POSITIONS AVAILABLE WITH
PEOPLE & PRACTICES RESEARCH
INTEL RESEARCH/INTEL CORPORATION

People & Practices Research, a team of social scientists and designers
within Intel Research, is seeking to fill 2 full-time senior positions. We
are seeking two broad types of candidates: those who have deep interest and
experience in understanding people and everyday lives around the globe, and
those who relish experiments with tools and methods for shaping and
realizing the value of people-focused research. These distinctions are not
hard and fast; rather they point to the two distinct emphases of our work.

Individuals with strong research profiles have graduate level training in
one of the following disciplines: literature & cultural studies, sociology,
economics, psychology, anthropology, art history. Individuals with stronger
"design" profiles have graduate-level training in visual studies,
interaction design, systems & service design, arts & technology, digital
media, computer science.

Qualified candidates…
• …have a track record of creative, innovative research thinking, and
have or are about to complete their PhD, or advanced graduate work.
• …are inspired to develop research or "design" programs that seek to
understand people, practices and institutions and seek to use this
understanding as a basis from which to map out new, disruptive
opportunities for technological innovation.
• …believe in the value of interdisciplinary work and collaboration as
means for conducting innovative research.

Candidates should have some affinity for theory and theoretical frameworks
as is relevant for their area of expertise. A candidate's expertise might
include: Islam and Islamic societies, China, media and image culture,
on-line communities and the internet, "emerging regions", synthetic worlds,
gaming and artificial intelligence, sustainability, biotechnology,
economics. Experience with ethnographic research methods and techniques is
desirable.

Full-time offers will require relocation to Portland, Oregon.

-Planning (global) research programs
