[Stephen Intille]

Hi, I thought this might be of interest to some people following this
list...


POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE or RESEARCH SCIENTIST, Architecture (2 positions), to
work under the auspices of the House-n Research Group. Will develop software
for mobile phones to use sensing, pattern recognition, and persuasive
computing to automatically measure physical activity and help people stay
healthy. Responsibilities will include working with MIT and Duke researchers
to design an innovative multimedia weight management application for mobile
phones using sensors and social networking, iteratively implementing and
testing the software through several rapid design phases, using
participatory design techniques to gather information about end-user
concerns, and publishing academic papers on the design and use of the
technology and extensions with the MIT and Duke research team. The software
created will be evaluated in a randomized clinical trial sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health.

REQUIREMENTS: a B.S. or advanced degree in computer science (or closely
related subject) and demonstrated success developing sophisticated mobile
applications for Windows Mo	bile, Android, iPhone, or Symbian. An
advanced degree and experience in a research environment desirable.
Expertise in pattern classification algorithm development and statistical
analysis of sensor data, database-driven application development (including
managing and visualizing large datasets), Bluetooth programming, and/or
user-interface design and evaluation for mobile computing highly desirable. 

Title will be dependent upon level of education/experience. The appointments
will be for one-year with possibility of renewal.
