Eyebeam Looking For Talent

If I weren't married, weren't a father, weren't deeply involved in my community and wasn't extremely happy where I am geographically, professionally and mentally then I'd be there in a flash. Eyebeam is one of those organizations you don't really know about because you have to know their work before you know who they are. In order to know their work you have to be a bit "in the know" to begin with... or at least actively involved in the inner-circle of the online world. I've been following Eyebeam's work for about 2 years now and although I've never met Jonah Peretti, I've admired his [and the eyebeam team's] work from afar. I've been linking to Eyebeam's reblog for as long as this blog's been up as well so don't even say I'm jumping on the bandwagon or you'll get pounded.

So if you're up to the challenge and are a tech enthusiast then you need to apply, NOW!

Eyebeam R&D seeks inaugural fellows to work on creative technology projects in the Eyebeam Open Lab. The fellowship is a unique opportunity to participate in a new kind of research environment and contribute to the public domain.

The Open Lab is dedicated to public domain R&D. We are seeking artists, hackers, designers and engineers to come to Eyebeam for a year to develop pioneering work. The ideal fellow has experience creating innovative creative technology projects, a love of collaborative development, and a desire to distribute his or her work as widely as possible.

Participation in the R&D Fellows program includes:

* One year fellowship
* 4 days/week commitment
* $30,000 annual stipend + health benefits

Facilities
The new Open Lab facilities are directly adjacent to a public gallery. Tools include a laser cutter, 3D printer, fully equipped electronics workbenches, multiple co-located servers, and general supplies. We also have a budget to requisition equipment to realize specific projects.
