The goal of<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; ESPACER is the development, dissemination and evaluation of<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; collaborative technologies that promote human interfacing and<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; community awareness in the everyday lived spaces where we work,<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; play and learn. We employ hybrid research practices that integrate<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; methods from creative, critical and technical disciplines.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Technologies and methods explored in the Advanced Research<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Technology Collaboration and Visualization Lab include large-scale<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; participatory wireless networks, tangible and organic interfaces<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; and virtual and augmented environments.  Our research platforms<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; include personal area network technologies, physical computing,<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; mega-pixel and stereographic displays, multi-touch surfaces and<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; mobile devices.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; RESPONSIBILITIES<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Work study programs at the Banff Centre are intended to provide<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; the participant with a combination of learning opportunities and<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; supervised practical work, related to the participant&#8217;s learning<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; objectives. Learning opportunities may be formal sessions and\/or<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; workshops or they may be informal opportunities arising out of the<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; situation of the moment. The work portion of the experience will<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; primarily focus on activities, which complement the participant&#8217;s<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; learning objectives as the work relates to the real and ongoing<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; activities in the Advanced Research Technology Collaboration and<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Visualization Lab including work associated with event production<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; activities, technical support to staff and visiting researchers,<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; project management, administration, and marketing.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; QUALIFICATIONS<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; It is recognized that work study participants bring prior training<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; and expertise to their work study term. The work experience in the<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Advanced Technology Research Lab will provide the opportunity for<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; work study participants to extend their current skills in digital<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; media production and human centered computing in a collaborative<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; research environment. Top candidates will demonstrate the ability<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; and willingness to learn new technologies and creative methods as<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; required for creative research inquiry in their applications.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Candidates must have strong oral and written communication skills,<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; excellent organizational abilities, excellent time management<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; skills including the ability to multi-task multiple projects.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Education<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Top candidates for the Work Study program have completed their<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; undergraduate or graduate degree.  The academic discipline of your<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; prior studies is open; however you must express and demonstrate an<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; interest in expanding your creative technologies practices in a<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; research environment.  Exceptional candidates who are currently<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program and are<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; interested for summer term work study opportunities will be<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; considered.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Technical Skills<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; Work Study candidates are required to have a background in<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; computer programming with solid foundation in at least one of the<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; following programming languages C, C++, C#, or Java<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&gt; &gt;&gt; _____________________________________________________________________ &gt;&gt; __________________________________ &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; BANFF NEW MEDIA INSTITUTE (BNMI) &gt;&gt; ADVANCED RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATION AND VISUALIZATION LAB &gt;&gt; WORK STUDY POSITION &gt;&gt;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-job","category-listserv","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
