The second position, which requires more experience and goes under the title of Chief Technology Innovation Officer (CTIO), will help conduct “creative research” that imagines new kinds of storytelling. This person will play both a high-level role assisting the Brown Institute directors at both Columbia and Stanford in designing seminars and workshops and administering the institute’s various grant and fellowship programs, as well as working hands-on and collaboratively with members of the Brown Institute and students, faculty and other members of the Columbia and Stanford communities. This means that, like the creative technologist position, the CTIO should also have a firm grounding in practicalities. Finally, s/he might also teach a course in the Columbia Journalism School, with the goal of promoting the mix of technology and journalism in novel ways. This position will be appointed for up to 12 months, renewable for up to 2 additional years, contingent on performance and the continued availability of funding.

The first is a junior position, a “creative technologist,” and is ideal for someone just graduating. This person will work collaboratively with members of the Brown Institute, students, faculty and other members of the Columbia and Stanford communities to develop new ways to inform and entertain. Because of the hands-on nature of the job, an ideal candidate should have a firm grounding in practicalities (be fluent in at least one programming language, have a history of learning new technological platforms, and have a general curiosity about how technology might shape narrative). This position will be appointed for up to 12 months, renewable for up to 2 additional years, contingent on performance and the continued availability of funding.
