[liberationtech] Looking for a Developer/Designer RA for full-year funding/hourly work at Stanford

[Tanja Aitamurto]

Hello,

We are looking for an awesome developer and/or designer for a project on
crowdsourcing investigative journalism. In the project we are developing a
mobile and/or web application for crowdsourcing microtasks from both
voluntary and paid crowdworkers for an investigative news site that has
hundreds of thousands monthly readers and contributors.

You can be a Stanford student (undergrad, Master’s, PhD student or a
post-doc) in any level, as long as you have designer/developer skills.
Previous front and back end UX development experience is appreciated, but
you don’t need to have experience about crowdsourcing-related projects.
There is flexibility in the starting date: You could start either over the
summer, or in the fall 2015. The funding runs until the end of academic
year 2015-2016.

We are a team of three people, including postdoctoral and fellowship
students, and we are looking to extend the team by a developer and/or
designer, who would work with us in developing the applications. The work
would be compensated by either covering your tuition + living (stipend) as
a Research Assistant or paid as hourly work, depending on your preferences.

Depending on the arrangements, there might be another developer working on
the project part-time.

In this job, you will get:

* Unique design and development experience,

* Co-authorship in research papers, if you want

Work with an all-star, fun, ambitious and experienced team

* Funding

* Being part of the awesome Brown Institute for Media Innovation community
and resources

* Exposure in national and international press

* Networks in the world of media innovations and crowdsourcing applications

* Possibility to scale up internationally


Please respond fast, this is a unique opportunity and the time is limited!
Shoot us an email and let’s meet asap. Let us know if you have questions.
Please respond to Tanja at tanjaa at stanford.edu and to Michael
morisy at stanford.edu
