Assunto: Berkman Opportunities: Work with Jonathan Zittrain, or design and develop with the metaLAB and Berkman!
Hi all,
There are a couple of great opportunities in Berkmanland: one fantastic position working with Jonathan Zittrain for the younger researchers among us, and two geeky gigs - one full time web applications developer position with Berkman proper, and one contract design/developer opportunity with the endlessly creative metaLAB (at) Harvard. More information about the positions and applying can be found below (please note: all three positions have different application processes)!
Please feel free to forward this note along to those who may want to join our efforts here in Cambridge!
Hope you're all having great summers,
Becca

Jonathan Zittrain seeks a Research Assistant!: <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/getinvolved/internships/jz>
Professor Jonathan Zittrain, of the Harvard Law School, the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, seeks a Research Assistant in Cambridge, MA for a period of one year. This position represents an ideal opportunity for those interested in future graduate school or law school studies, whether currently admitted or still applying to such programs. Over the course of the year, a motivated individual will sharpen and focus his or her research agenda and make valuable contributions to the field of cyberlaw and beyond, while being exposed to leaders in academia, industry, and government. A research assistant in this position will work very closely with Professor Jonathan Zittrain, assisting in a variety of research areas, e.g. ubiquitous human computing, mesh networks, and Internet access.
This research assistantship requires, primarily, the ability to absorb large amounts of written and other media materials from various sources (including but not restricted to: original sources, scholarly articles, news articles/blogs, interviews, databases) in a short amount of time, critically analyze that material and render it back. This rendering could take the form of prep materials for panels, conferences and presentations; article outlines; fact checking materials; original article or paper drafts; slide decks or other digested forms. Research is largely self-directed with little outside guidance beyond broad outlines and themes (though occasional targeted research assignment for a specific fact or image can be expected), so the ability to quickly critically appraise sources and identify interesting, relevant and original paths is essential. Wide-ranging interests and the ability to work on almost any issue or topic that arises is a plus. Excellent writing and editorial skills with an attention to detail are also required.
Previous formal experience in cyberlaw is not required, but a strongly developed interest in cyberlaw, the Internet, technology and policy is highly recommended.
This position will be based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Required Education, Experience and Skills:
· BA/BS preferred
· Proven ability to complete independent research
· Independent and self-motivated, comfortable working with little outside direction
· Excellent critical reading skills: must have the ability to absorb large amounts of material quickly
· Wide-ranging interests, able to work enthusiastically on intellectually diverse projects
· Willing to engage intellectually in a non-territorial manner
· Previous teaching/TAing experience a plus
· Excellent writing and editing skills
Time Commitment & Payment:
Over the course of the year the time commitment for this position will cycle between two different periods: it will start with 90 days of full-time work, transition to 60 days of part-time work, and then continue this transition back and forth.
Research assistants are paid $11.50 an hour. No other benefits are provided.
Applications and Questions:
To apply, please email a current CV or resume and a cover letter summarizing your interest and experience.
Applications and requests for more information should be sent by email to Lisa Carlivati at: a2jz [at] law.harvard.edu

Berkman Center Web Developer Opportunity: <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/getinvolved/staff/webdev>
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is looking for a Rails/PHP/Perl/Javascript developer to join our team immediately in Cambridge, MA!
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society is a research center founded to explore cyberspace, share in its study, and help pioneer its development. We represent a network of faculty, students, fellows, entrepreneurs, lawyers, and virtual architects working to identify and engage with the challenges and opportunities of cyberspace, and work with researchers, computer scientists, activists, librarians, musicians, and more from all corners of the university and beyond.
We're looking for a senior developer who will thrive in a creative, fun, and fast-paced atmosphere with a team of extremely talented and dedicated developers and co-workers. We love real time data, finding interesting ways to aggregate social networking statistics and have access to fascinating internet research data from all over the world; this is the stuff that you could be knee deep in!
The developer will work closely with a growing team of developers, researchers and staff on all phases of the application development cycle, including planning, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
Required education, experience and skills:
• We are looking for someone who loves clean, well-designed code. Some combination of education and experience is required, such as BS in computer science or engineering, prior work experience, internships, Google Summer of Code or personal code that has experienced load by a human.
• Experience with Ruby, Rails, PHP. Perl, Javascript, CSS, and HTML is valued, but all are not essential. Interest in learning these and more is required; we are ready to invest in, teach and support the right person in gaining the necessary skills.
• Ever write a tool to transform realtime data? Written Javascript code to modify a page according to explicit and implicit user behavior? Have a desire to contribute a jQuery library or ruby gem to handle twitter/facebook/google data to the open source community? We work with all kinds of data, so having an open and creative take on modelling is a plus.
What we build:
For our web applications, we use Ruby on Rails, Perl or PHP in combination with jQuery (we also maintain a few Java applications). Mysql, Postgres and Couch provide the backend, but we're open minded about new technology, too. We deploy via passenger, mod_perl and mod_jk on apache, use Lucene/Solr for search, and tomcat for our Java applications. We maintain many production applications on primarily open source infrastructure.
How we operate and expect you to participate:
• We’ll ask you for your opinion and expect you to have one.
• That coding is your lifestyle; you have and admire your ability to pick up new technologies in days and weeks not months and years.
• We’ll have you create software with the languages and tools that best match the job.
• That you will be able to refactor and improve existing applications, and build new ones from scratch.
• We’ve got great sysadmin support but if you've got the skills, expect to use them.
How Berkman works as a whole:
At the Berkman Center, geekery is respected. In addition to the bump to your geek street cred, you’ll get:
• the satisfaction of seeing your work help make the world and the internet a better place.
• to work with our world-class faculty, fellows, and staff - the minds behind the OpenNet Initiative, Global Voices Online, Creative Commons, StopBadware, Surveillance and Circumvention Projects, the Public Radio Exchange, Herdict, Mediacloud, and countless other Center efforts – and be able to shape new projects.
• to attend the Berkman Center’s many events, which bring a rotating cast of the best and brightest folks thinking about the ways the Internet is changing the world (these also contribute to an oft-generous magic food table).
• to go to work every day in a yellow house at the edge of the Harvard Law School campus. Our team lives in the Geek Cave... oddly enough, one of the best-lit rooms at the Center!
Berkman is a fast-paced academic environment, and developers need to be adaptable, flexible and persistent, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and communicate effectively about timelines and development priorities. It requires a person able to successfully maintain a complex suite of web applications for high uptime, performance, and reliability. The position requires technical and organizational skills and a commitment to the vision and mission of the Berkman Center.
Commitment to diversity:
The work and well-being of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University are strengthened profoundly by the diversity of our network and our differences in background, culture, experience, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and much more. We actively seek and welcome applications from people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, and persons with disabilities, as well as applications from researchers and practitioners from across the spectrum of disciplines and methods. The roots of this deep commitment are many and, appropriately, diverse. We are not nearly far enough along in this regard, and we may never be. It is a constant process in which there remains much to learn. We welcome your inquiries, comments and ideas on how we may continue to improve.

Pessoas,
Gentileza me retirar desta lista. Eu não me cadastrei e nem solicitei minha inscrição. O assunto é interessante mas não posso acompanhá-lo e, além de tudo, está prejudicando a leitura de minha caixa postal.
Atenciosamente,
