Psychology Professor Seeking Research Assistants with Programming and Graphic Design Skills

Description
We are developing a new web-based platform for publication of scientific information. The project was born from observing the highly inefficient practices currently dominating the dissemination of scientific information. Instead of fixing these problems one by one we decided to create a prototype of a scientific journal series on a completely different basis that breaks from traditional commercial publication practice. A significant part of the code has already been developed. I am looking for creative, dedicated students who are experienced in programming web applications to continue the project. You also must be open to new approaches, bring you new ideas to the table for testing on a larger internet community.

Qualifications
Computer programming on web application platforms.
The usual suspects C/C++, MySQL, Java, (Ajax, Python, …, you name it).
Developing experience on Rails is a bonus.
You bring your toolbox and graphical design skills.

Project Timeline
Start: 1/1/2015 End: 12/31/2016

Duties
Programming, attend regular weekly meetings. Meet milestones of code development. Team work alternating with individual work. Flexible schedule.

Interested? Contact Professor Zoltan Nadasdy at zoltan@utexas.edu
