PM Studio is looking for an adventurous, collaborative, creative technologist

February 23, 2010

Posted by Shirin in: Watershed | Innovation | Recruitment | Bristol | pervasive | Trackback

Creative Technology Research Associate (one year fixed term)

Grade: 2 £27,000

"Everyone at Watershed has a passion for doing a job properly. Often doing a job properly involves creativity, innovation and a lot of thought: being encouraged to do those things, and working with others who do too, every day, is what makes Watershed both a great place and a great place to work." Oliver Humpage, Watershed ICT Coordinator

The Role:

This one year research post will play a key role in developing collaborative, publicly-facing projects and ideas in The Pervasive Media Studio.

The role will provide residents and collaborators with technical inspiration, collaboration and support. It has a broad remit: sometimes you will be exploring cutting-edge research, sometimes you will be coding an artist's project, sometimes (but less so) you will be re-setting the router.

About you:

You will have the ability to understand and inspire, listen and communicate and then make brilliant ideas happen. You need to know your stuff and have a flexible, adventurous and collaborative approach to work.

About us:

The Studio is part of Watershed. We have a formal partnership with UWE's Digital Cultures Research Centre. We are a multi-disciplinary lab exploring and producing pervasive media content, applications and services. We work within a brilliant community of artists, creative companies, technologists and academics. Our projects include gaming, projections, location-based media, digital displays and new forms of performance. Some are commercial, some are cultural. We test our projects as early as possible and iterate. We have a great workspace, an open ethos and a can-do attitude.

This research associate post is supported by funding from the South West Regional Development Agency.
