[change] Our People-Centered Digital Future | Right now via webcast!

2018-12-10 Thread Yosem Companys
Today is the "Our People-Centered Digital Future" sponsored by Constellation
Research .

By March 2019, 50% of the world will be connected to the Internet, an
inflection point that marks an important moment for examining the
“unfinished work” of the Internet and discussing the community norms, human
rights and social contracts required in this exponential digital era.

The event recognizes both the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights

(UDHR),
the event also recognizes the 50th anniversary of the "Mother of All Demos
."

The event is well underway. Internet co-inventor Vint Cerf and Web inventor
Sir Tim Berners-Lee have already delivered their introductory remarks. If
you missed their talks, don't worry. You can click on the Livestream
timeline below to view them.

There are many more events to come today into the late evening. This is a
simulcast of the YouTube feed at https://youtu.be/S87r9Bn058s> (which does
buffer occasionally), but with added AI captions and speaker names.

[change] JOB: USAID DIV STIP Officer; Deadline: Dec 13

2018-12-10 Thread Yosem Companys
Jeff Brown recently re-joined Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) at
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as Division
Chief.

USAID DIV supports piloting and rigorous testing of innovations in
development and helps transition the most successful innovations to scale.

For example, DIV supported a rigorous evaluation by James Habyarimana and
Billy Jack of Georgetown University which found dramatic reductions in
accident rates from placing stickers in minibuses in Kenya encouraging
passengers to speak up if the driver was driving unsafely. DIV then
supported a national scale up, and the innovation is now improving safety
for millions of Kenyans and being rigorously tested to see if there are
similar effects in other countries.

Jeff and Michael are looking for someone to join  DIV leadership team in
the exciting and senior role of Science, Technology, Innovation, and
Partnership (STIP) Officer. The details are at
https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/518613200.

The job posting was just made but apparently is scheduled to close in 3
days on December 13!

A few items to note:

   - Unfortunately, the position is only open to US citizens.
   - The U.S. federal government's human resources policy requires filling
   out a questionnaire. Please make sure to answer the questions in a detailed
   fashion as CVs and resumes may not explicitly cover areas such as
   "teamwork." If the applicant isn't familiar with the process of applying
   for government jobs through such forms, you might want to research it or
   reach out to someone who is familiar with the process.
   - Unfortunately, Jeff and Michael aren't in a position to provide
   further info beyond what's on the website until the prospective applicant
   applies and makes it further in the process (e.g., interview panel).

Please feel free to apply and/or circulate the opportunity widely.
