The Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) at the University of Washington (UW) Seattle is looking to hire an ethnographer of data science for a 36 month (2.5yrs) postdoctoral research scientist position, starting January 2017.
You will work with Prof. David Ribes in Seattle, and in collaboration with Geoffrey C. Bowker (and an additional postdoc) at the UC Irvine School of Informatics.
The postdoc will collaborate in the investigation of the Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs and Spokes program (BDHubs), an NSF funded “umbrella organization” for US Big Data and data science. This project will investigate the ongoing activities at the BDHubs and its partner institutions, their emerging plans for the future, and will tie these to the history of research infrastructures. The goal is to understand the rise and institutionalization of ‘the data sciences,’ including organizational, methodological, epistemological and infrastructural transformations at the nexus of science, industry and state.
