Designer for Flash-based Games and Cognitive Intervention Tools (San Francisco Bay Area)

2010-07-27T14:46:24-07:00

You would be joining a team of neuroscientists and clinical rehabilitation specialists, designing and implementing innovative �game-based� training tools to improve cognitive functioning in individuals who have suffered brain injury. Brain injuries affect millions of individuals every year, and have become a �hallmark� injury of recent conflicts. The games will be applied in clinical research to refine and validate tools for the treatment of veterans with brain injury. The tools will also be used in studies that will include neurophysiologic measurements to determine neural mechanisms of treatment effects. These studies will contribute to a better understanding of ways to improve brain function.

You would take a lead role in the initial conceptualization, ongoing creative direction, and final production of database driven Flash applications that will cross the borders between casual and strategy games. Above and beyond standard flash game development, you would be working directly with neuroscientists and clinical specialists on the cutting edge of translating cognitive neuroscience and neuro-rehab principles into fun, engaging games. The contractor will provide consultation on design specification for the training games, in collaboration with the PI and research team. Activities will include providing direct in-person consultation on specifications drafted by the primary research team, providing wire-frames to specify user interface and game play in detail and providing additional specifications as directed by the primary research team in order to fully specify game design. Game design will include mechanisms for engaging and measuring specific cognitive processes. These tools will be calibrated to be able to measure performance in specific cognitive domains, and will incorporate specialized adaptive algorithms to support cognitive-process-specific training progressions.

This project is sponsored by the US government and will have a high profile given current national priorities. Ultimately, the refined tools will be used in treatment programs across the country for individuals with brain injury.

We're looking for someone with game industry experience and game design talent. You must have solid experience with designing casual games and strategy games for Flash-based platform, having been though at least two development cycles. Also necessary are strong documentation and organizational skills. The first major end product will be a detailed written design spec that includes graphical wireframes that we can use to guide programming and development. We would like for you to oversee ongoing development through to the end product of fully deployed games, with specialized back end controls and measurement features, that individuals with brain injury can train on.

A special requirement in this project is that these game design specs must not only elaborate a fun, engaging game, but specifically address the scientific and clinical requirements to be effective training tools. The ideal candidate should have a background or at least an interest in cognitive science and have the ability to rapidly learn and understand the scientific and clinical principles that will underlie the game design. Your intrinsic curiosity will provide motivation to understand the current state of the art and learn the key principles we work with on a daily basis. Your creativity will allow you to translate from these principles into fun, engaging game design. We are solving novel problems, translating between cognitive neuroscience, brain injury rehabilitation and the best game design. It�s really fun-- and will lead to real benefits to individuals with brain injuries.

We are looking for someone to join our team as a full time contractor: first, to take charge of conceptualization and design but following through to oversee implementation and final production as well. If you're an AS3 coder, and interested in doing some programming, that's even better. Alternatively, we would welcome design help on a consultancy basis. This too would be full time or close to full time, in time chunks corresponding to the sub-projects in this overall project. In either case, you would need to be able to offer a solid time commitment to be able fully engage and �wrap your brain� around the scientific, clinical and design issues we are working on. Geographical location is important: although you will spend much brain time in your own favorite environment, we do meet in person up to 3x per week, typically on campus at the University of California, Berkeley, and occasionally at the VA Medical Centers in San Francisco and Martinez.

By way of response, please send the following information to the above email address:

1) A brief statement of interest, including why you would be interested in being involved with this project, summarizing what background/skills/qualities you would bring to the project.
2) Resume
3) References
4) Portfolio of prior work, including links to completed projects if applicable

UI Designer/Developer wanted for HOT, Growing Web Startup (palo alto)

2010-07-27T10:45:28-07:00

We are: a red hot, funded, and growing web startup focused on payments.

You are: a talented and experienced UI Designer who wants to lead the visual direction of our product.

We are committed to acquiring the best talent in order to build a world-class product, and we are willing to put our money where our mouth is. Anyone who responds to this post, passes our interview, and gets hired will receive a:

$3,000 $5,000 CASH bonus

and that's in addition to the fabulous salary + benefits you'll receive. Sound good to you? We think so ;-)

Now, do you have what it takes?

Prove it!

Go to https://www.wepay.com (this is our home page)
Go to https://www.wepay.com/landing/troop (this is one of our landing pages)
Redesign either (or both!) of these pages in any format (PSD, JPG, HTML, etc)
Submit your redesign here
That's it! What're you waiting for?

Feel free to stop here, but read on if you'd like to learn more about us, why working for us rocks, and other fun things (like hints on this challenge).

About us

We are WePay, an easy way to collect, manage, and spend money for your group. Our customers are all sorts of groups like fraternities/sororities, student organizations, charities, boy/girl scouts, parents, roommates—the list goes on. Here are some tidbits about us:

Our employees love working at WePay and come from all sorts of backgrounds.
Our customers personally call us to tell us how much they love what we do for them.
The creator of PHP works for us.
We are implementors. That means we get our hands dirty and get things done. No room for theory here.
We are backed by the valley's top investors.
We have a fully stocked fridge of soda and juice, along with an espresso machine.
Everyone gets setup with a sweet MacBook Pro and a huge external flatscreen.
We're located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto, right next to the University Ave Caltrain.
We have fun (and we'll make sure you will, too).

Hints and help

The truth is, there aren't really any rules to this little "challenge". Really, we just want to see someone step up and surprise us. We don't care what school you went to, or if you even finished; whether you're a design major or American history. What counts for us that you can produce amazing results. And there's no single formula for being awesome. That being said, here're some things to keep in mind as you do this:

Be creative, don't box yourself in with convention or preset rules. Heck, you can redesign our whole site if you like. Or none at all. Surprise us!
Don't bother sending us an email that starts with "I only had a few minutes to do this..." We're not interested in half-assed efforts. Set aside time and get it done right. If you need more time, just shoot us an email and say you're working on it.
It's all in the details. Polishing your product shows you care. We were once complemented on a 1px line on our site. Nothing goes unnoticed.
Ask questions; nobody will laugh at you. (Unless of course you ask the same question twice ;-)
Persistence, determination, and enthusiasm will get your everywhere. Don't give up!
Do more than just look pretty; Convert! In the end, we need users to use the product. We can't do much with things that are pretty but broken.
Give us choice. Tons of designers get crushed because their design is rejected. The easiest way to get around rejection is to provide more options.

UI Designer/Developer personality quiz

Just for fun. (And it'll make the front-end guy happy ;-)

Em, px, pt, or % and why?
Tables or divs?
Flash or AJAX?
IE6—thoughts?
permanent vertical scrollbar or not?

By the way...

NO RECRUITERS! NO RECRUITERS! NO RECRUITERS! NO RECRUITERS! NO RECRUITERS! NO RECRUITERS!

Call for Entries: The Peace Project (Bay Area Artists)

2010-07-27T10:43:12-07:00

What�s your vision of peace? Soldiers laying down their arms? The smile of a child who�s overcome the trauma of war? Picasso�s famous dove? Or something more abstract yet just as powerful?

That�s the challenge � and promise � of The Peace Project, an international collaborative art competition and exhibition created to connect peace-minded individuals everywhere. Artists from around the world, working in diverse mediums, are invited to submit their creative interpretations of peace.

An exhibit will be created using 100 � 200 selected pieces of artwork that will be reproduced on 1'x1' panels (30.5mm x 30.5mm) arranged in mosaic fashion to underscore the multicultural implications of global peace, and to reinforce the notion that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The Peace Project has attracted an esteemed panel of jurors including Pulitizer Prize winner Karen Blessen, a representative from the Guggenheim and MoMA in New York, the head of Morgan Gaynin (representatives of the world�s top illustrators), a Los Angeles Art Critic, a New York Photographer�s Rep, and other powerful forces in the creative world.

Application Procedure:

Please send a cover letter along with your resume to pppm@techsoupglobal.org describing what inspires you about bringing your expertise to TechSoup Global, and why you think you are a perfect fit.

If you already volunteer or contribute to any community-focused projects, write a blog, or are passionate about any particular social issue, we would love to hear about it.

About TechSoup Global:

The Community-Driven Innovation program builds upon the learning, assets and relationships developed over the last five years at NetSquared.org, and the last 23 years of TechSoup Global�s history.

TechSoup Global is working towards the day when every nonprofit and social benefit organization on the planet has the technology resources and knowledge it needs to operate at its full potential.

TechSoup Global, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in 1987 on the belief that technology is a powerful enabler for social change. Since that day, we�ve assembled a worldwide network of individuals and organizations that share this conviction. This network�one that you likely belong to�includes foundations and corporations, governments and NGOs, social entrepreneurs and volunteers. Together, these unlikely allies have developed sustainable, community-driven technology solutions to meet today�s most urgent social challenges.

A guiding principle in our work is that NGOs are agents of change, not beneficiaries of aid. Our efforts are focused on creating sustainable communities, in which all participants are contributors, not on the redistribution of resources from the haves to the have-nots. We believe that all participants have resources that, brought to bear on a problem, can result in real solutions. This currency of contribution underwrites all of our work.

Last year was a time of great expansion and learning for our organization. In late 2008, we made a commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative to branch out to underserved areas of Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America. Since then, the TechSoup Global Network has expanded with an office in Warsaw, Poland, and a network of 29 partners serving 32 countries, including Brazil and Japan.

We�ve also broadened our reach through NetSquared, an ambitious global experiment that empowers individuals at the local level to build and share innovative solutions to social problems. Today, the NetSquared community has tremendous reach, with more than 20,000 members and local events in 71 cities around the world. In 2009, the NetSquared Challenge brought innovators from all over the globe to the Cisco campus in California to award seed funding and resources to projects like FrontlineSMS, The Extraordinaries, and VozMob: Mobile Voices. Partners such as UC Berkeley Human Rights Center and USAID see these challenges as a powerful model for surfacing innovation. We�ve also expanded the breadth of our programs. In November 2008, the Council on Foundations selected TechSoup Global to design and host an equivalency determination information repository, now known as NGOsource. TSG was selected in part because of its extensive international network and proven ability to offer eligibility verification services. In partnership with the Council, we are currently developing this new web-based service.

And TechSoup.org continues to grow, now reaching more than 375,000 unique visitors every month. The site, which combines product philanthropy with practical educational content and a vibrant community, is undergoing a complete technology overhaul.

TechSoup Global offers a competitive non-profit compensation package, which includes full benefits.
TechSoup Global is dedicated to creating and supporting an environment of openness, trust, and fun where people's differences are valued and respected, and where people of diverse backgrounds participate fully in our organization. We believe that the diverse cultures and perspectives of our staff will help us better serve our clients. TechSoup Global is an equal opportunity agency and will not allow discrimination based upon race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, domestic partner status, ancestry, national origin, weight, height, physical or mental handicap, pregnancy, medical condition, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, citizenship, veteran status, AIDS/HIV status, age, or socioeconomic background.
