Call for interns

Intel Corporation's Domestic Designs and Technologies Research Group is calling for interns!

As part of Domestic Designs and Technologies
Research, the ethnographic and design research team within the Digital Home Group, you will work within a multidisciplinary team to explore and research 'love and spirituality' and its intersection with computers and
technology, in and around the home.

DDTR is a driving force within the Digital Home Group: our charter is to develop a clear & actionable understanding of daily life all over the world, identify opportunities for our platforms to enable experiences
that consumers value, merge original insights with technology, market, platform and planning intelligence to define usage models & platform requirements,
and seed future research & platform opportunties. DHG's vision is to make Intel the trusted foundation of your digital home. To that end, the Digital Home Group develops computing and communications oriented
platforms that anticipate and satisfy the needs of consumers world-wide. We will be offering 3 month paid internships starting in October '06, January '07, and April '07, for graduate students in anthropology, design
research or related social sciences. Interns must re-locate to the Portland, Oregon area to work closely with the research team during the entire length of the internship.

We are looking for individuals with experience in designing and conducting both qualitative and quantitative user or design research studies,
including analysis of the resulting data. Candidates should prepare a concise yet thorough one-page proposal to explore some aspect of love and spirituality and its intersection with computers and technology in and
around the home. Exact responsibilities of the position will be defined with the successful applicant based on the proposal you submit. Please submit your proposal describing the research you'd like to do in this area over the course of your internship to michael.j.payne@intel.com

Applications (CV + proposal) must be received by July 31st, October 31st, and January 31st respectively for the Oct, Jan, and April start dates; successful candidates will be contacted by the 10th of the month following.
