Institute for the Future seeks Collaborative Media Designer

Institute for the Future, the nonprofit thinktank in Palo Alto, California where I'm a research director, has a rare job opening. We're looking for a Collaborative Media Designer and Drupal hacker. This is a great opportunity. Mike Love, who created the position but is leaving for grad school, did amazing work building open source collaborative tools for forecasting. There's room here for someone motivated to design, build, and integrate new blogging platforms, wiki applications, visualization tools, digital video, and online collaboration systems. (Please don't email me directly as I'm not involved in the hiring process.) From the job description:

Looking for the right person with a passion for new technologies and social software. If you are a developer or researcher with an interest in experimenting, designing, developing, and implementing collaborative technology tools–such as open-source online platforms and social software to support dynamic research processes–this is the job for you. If you are a Drupal tinkerer or developer, we’d love to meet you!

  I used to work for this group way back in 2001 in the IT dept. They are small, but a great group of people. Good luck to anyone who joins their organization!
