I'm trying something new! Work with me on a research project of mutual interest; get six months of funding and mentorship.
Details here (apply by Nov 25): https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Research_fellowship
If you know someone who might be a great fit, please send them that link! Copying the overview from that page here for convenience:
Who:
- you are some blend of a designer, a technologist, and a researcher—an aspiring interface inventor
- e.g. artist-technologists, creative tech industry people between positions, academic folks on sabbatical or leave, recent graduates still exploring, post-exit founders pursuing creative work, consultants looking for an interesting break
The project:
- take an idea-sketch from my work/collaborations and run with it:e.g. timeful texts, doing-centric explanatory mediums, mnemonic video, programmable attention, peripheral vision
- or pitch another project of mutual interest
You’ll produce:
- a prototype of a novel tool for thought, tested with real people
- an essay (like this) documenting the prototype, the theory behind it, and what you learned in your test
You’ll receive:
- $25,000 (+$5,000 if you’ll move to / live in San Francisco)
- regular meetings with me for ideas, feedback, support
- introductions to potential colleagues and employers
- a larger audience for your work
When:
- six months, ~full-time, starting late 2022 or early 2023
- application deadline 2022-11-25
Where:
- San Francisco preferred; remote OK for the right candidate
