2012 Summer Internships on Social Media pdf version: http://bit.ly/MhnDPh At The Computer Lab of the University of Cambridge, we seek summer interns who will contribute to software development and data analysis in a variety of research projects in the area of social media, including: Local Idea Marketplace. This is a site in which local groups of people can vote on ideas and upload new ones. The fun voting process would result into having the best ideas bubble to the top. Analytics Dashboard for Future Cities. This is a web-based interactive visualization and exploration platform for all kinds of live information about cities including weather, transport, local news, and social media usage. These 3-month internships typically start in June and end in August, and they could be exciting opportunities for UK/EU Undergraduate, Master, and PhD students in Computer Science, Geospatial Sciences, Information Systems, and Interaction Design who wish to conduct research and contribute to curriculum development. Previous experience in web development and data mining is required, and ability to work under tight deadlines a must. Applications should be emailed to Daniele Quercia ([log in to unmask]) and Jon Crowcroft ([log in to unmask]) no later than May 30.
