Madeira-ITI is an innovation institute and non-profit R&D organization that operates in the interdisciplinary domain of human-computer interaction (HCI) for addressing and engaging in important scientific and technological challenges that have societal relevance and impact. Madeira-ITI is one of the top HCI centers in Europe, recently evaluated as "Excellent" by Portugal’s national science foundation (FCT). Madeira itself is a small semi-autonomous island, located off the coast of Morocco with a quarter of a million people, an awe-inspiring landscape, and an average year-round temperature of 21º degrees.
Madeira-ITI seeks one junior-level researcher with a background in ethnography, anthropology, sociology, sociolinguistics, civic media, information systems, community organizing, or similar, to assume a key role in helping to lead and fulfill the objectives of the Civic Media for Island Autonomy and Resilience component of the Alert4You project (P16.01_MAC1420), funded by the Macaronesian (MAC) Transnational Cooperation INTERREG initiative.
Project Description: Communities need both autonomy and connectivity; islands even more so. Communities should have the resources for resilience, sustainability, and self-reliance. These resources should be locally owned and operated, accessible by as many people as possible, and most importantly they should be trusted and respected. Information is a resource that amplifies all other resources and can serve as a scaffold to self-reliance and sustainable growth. Our approach, Civic Media, born and developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and now based in Madeira, is to create peer-oriented, software-enabled platforms for the creation and exploitation of information for community resilience in the Macaronesian region. This project focuses on bottom-up, inexpensive, and sustainable approaches to geographic information systems (GIS) and documentation, communication and discourse within communities, and evidence gathering and decision making. Through a program of tactical interventions in the knowledge ecosystems of islands - involving field research, community outreach and engagement, education, citizen science, and grassroots mapping actions - this project aims to bring existing ideas and efforts into new configurations for civic knowledge generation in Cape Verde and Madeira.
Main research field: Ethnography, anthropology, sociology, sociolinguistics, civic media, information systems, community organizing.
Job Description: The responsibilities of this research position include: oversight of project aims and the continuity of R&D, community engagement and outreach actions; data management; managing communications with international research partners and target community groups and other civic entities; conducting independent and collaborative research focused on the creation and exploitation of information in remote, rural and coastal communities; contributing to the development of resources, tools, and other sociotechnical interventions aimed at civic knowledge generation; facilitating and leading deployment efforts and community-based critique analyses in the field; and special projects, as assigned.
The researcher will work under the supervision of ERA Chair Prof. Dr. Chris Csíkszentmihályi and other M-ITI faculty. S/he will produce original research and have to option to contribute to grant writing if interested. The ideal candidate will possess strong written and verbal communication skills to facilitate collaboration within a broad network of colleagues across disciplines and for engagement with the wider Alert4You/MAC community.
The successful candidate will have proven field research and project management abilities, demonstrated communication skills, and a strong interest in promoting field work and peer-to-peer communications systems in Cape Verde, and advancing the autonomy, connectivity, and resilience of communities through education, engagement and providing access to existing knowledge. Fluency in English and Kabuverdianu is essential. Strong knowledge of the islands of Santo Antão and Sao Nicolau a plus.
