Summer HCI RA

Across HCI and social computing platforms we have seen the rapid emergence and adoption of mobile applications to empower non-experts to explore, measure, and share data about their world from blooming flowers to air quality. However, the creation of mobile citizen science applications with the type and method of data collected remains under the control of the developers and accompanying infrastructure of each citizen science effort. We are building a flexible subscription-based web tool for non-experts to create and manage citizen science campaigns. Using this system, people can author their own campaigns with no programming skills and development infrastructure.

For this project we are looking for a skilled web programmer to work on creating a website. (All the basic features are mostly implemented.)

The website has two main features besides basic ones including:

• An interactive drag&drop interface (using jQuery UI) for a user to create a mock-up iPhone UI
• Retrieve/display/modify/save MySQL data in various visualizations

Required Skills: excellent in jQuery (jQuery UI), ajax, javascript, PHP and MySQL, programming experiences on android
