> Social Science Research Internship
> Digital Health Group, Intel (Ireland)
>
> The Digital Health team Europe, based in Leixlip, Ireland (just
> west of Dublin) is looking for a Social Science intern to spend
> between 9 and 11 months with a team of designers, engineers and
> social scientists working on two major research projects in 4
> European countries. Intel has pioneered the use of social science
> in the technology/innovation space – this position offers the
> opportunity to gain some exposure and experience to this field.
>
> Intel’s Digital Health Group (see http://www.intel.com/
> healthcare/) is currently working to develop technology platforms
> than enable transformations in the way that health and social care
> is experienced and configured. Currently areas of interest include
> chronic disease management, and independent living / ageing
> populations.
>
> To date, interns in this group have encountered a wide range of the
> teams’ overall work. Projects involve a differing degree of
> design, engineering, social science or business focus but interns
> are guaranteed to encounter a mix of disciplines, a range of
> project sizes and types and to see a lot of variety. There is the
> real opportunity of putting social science theory and enquiry into
> application. Our aim with internships is to give the student a
> central position in a project - this allows them to learn from how
> we do things, but gives them the opportunity to share their skills
> and experiences with colleagues. Internships are paid positions.
>
> In 2009, we are embarking on research in several European
> countries, focusing on care pathways for older people and those
> with chronic disease. We are particularly interested in hearing
> from people with European language ability and/or knowledge or
> interest in these areas of research
>

> for, and responses to, new technologies in the health and social
> care and independent living arenas

> social scientists, engineers and designers
> Translate research results into actionable ideas for both new
> technologies and business strategy
> Report to Social Science research groups in Ireland and Portland,
> Oregon
>
> Qualifications:
