Launching a research fellowship
Added 2022-11-17 22:01:26 +0000 UTCI'm trying something new! Work with me on a research project of mutual interest; get six months of funding and mentorship.
Details here (apply by Nov 25): https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Research_fellowship
If you know someone who might be a great fit, please send them that link! Copying the overview from that page here for convenience:
Who:
- you are some blend of a designer, a technologist, and a researcher—an aspiring interface inventor
- e.g. artist-technologists, creative tech industry people between positions, academic folks on sabbatical or leave, recent graduates still exploring, post-exit founders pursuing creative work, consultants looking for an interesting break
The project:
- take an idea-sketch from my work/collaborations and run with it:e.g. timeful texts, doing-centric explanatory mediums, mnemonic video, programmable attention, peripheral vision
- or pitch another project of mutual interest
You’ll produce:
- a prototype of a novel tool for thought, tested with real people
- an essay (like this) documenting the prototype, the theory behind it, and what you learned in your test
You’ll receive:
- $25,000 (+$5,000 if you’ll move to / live in San Francisco)
- regular meetings with me for ideas, feedback, support
- introductions to potential colleagues and employers
- a larger audience for your work
When:
- six months, ~full-time, starting late 2022 or early 2023
- application deadline 2022-11-25
Where:
- San Francisco preferred; remote OK for the right candidate
Comments
Thank you for your interest and for your kind support, Clara. I ended up with 71 applications for this one spot, and so in the interest of bounding my already quite overflowing applicant pool, I’m going to stick with the original deadline. I’m sorry to disappoint!
