Dear colleagues

The Grassroots Radio team, led by the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (Madeira-ITI), seeks a researcher with an interest in the participatory design of the interfaces for community governance of networked radio stations, with a particular focus on commons-based forms of governance and cooperative management. The hired person will be collaborating with the international partners of the consortium on the identified tasks, and will have the opportunity to produce original collaborative research and joint publications with other members of the network, as well as being afforded funding for travel to partner sites, and for attending conferences and workshops. While the emphasis of this work is on the participatory design of the governance of radio stations, a candidate with strong interdisciplinary skills would be able to learn many of the domain-specific approaches on the job.

Grassroots Radio is creating a game-changing network of inclusive digital platforms for citizen engagement, community deliberation, and the free flow of information within, into, and out of geographic communities by piloting solutions for connected, inexpensive, community owned and operated radio across Europe. Building on the success of the existing RootIO platform (www.rootio.org) – with its proven commons-oriented technology and catalytic capacities for promoting collective awareness and action, participatory innovation, community resilience, and media pluralism – we are deploying and testing a network of low-power community radio stations in Ireland, Portugal, and Romania as part of the Horizon 2020 Grassroot Wavelengths project (nº 780890), funded by the European Commission.

The initial contract will be for a period of 12 months, for potential renewable up to a maximum of 24 months. More detailed info on the job and the application process:

Please, circulate it to whoever you think could be interested.

Research assistants will mostly be working on a new study investigating interpersonal neural synchronization (using fNIRS) between preschool children with high irritability and their parents,however there are opportunities for work on other projects if interested. Projects, funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Brain and Behavior Research foundation, employ intensive, state-of-the-art, multi-modal, neurodevelopmental measurement including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), eye tracking, facial expression and behavioral coding, sleep actigraphy, hair cortisol, and interpersonal neural synchronization between parent and child. facial expression and behavioral coding, sleep actigraphy, hair cortisol, and interpersonal neural synchronization between parent and child. facial expression and behavioral coding, sleep actigraphy, hair cortisol, and interpersonal neural synchronization between parent and child.



This is an ideal position for a candidate looking to gain research experience before applying to graduate or medical school. The research assistant will be an integral member of this scientific team and will have opportunities to earn authorship on publications and present posters at scientific meetings.



Position requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field. The ideal candidate will demonstrate interest in child development, strong motivation, work ethic, and organizational skills, and will combine collaborative orientation with the ability to function well independently. This position requires experience in a research laboratory environment (whether through previous work experience or during undergraduate studies). Experience with a brain imaging modality (fMRI, EEG, fNIRS) and/or psychophysiology (heart rate, skin conductance, pupillometry) is preferred. Previous experience with children and families is required.



This position is expected to begin on 10/1/2018, although start date is flexible. Applicants who intend to spend a minimum of 2 years in the position will be preferred.
