Software Development and Database Design Positions, $25+/hr

Faculty and graduate students in media psychology and computer science are working to develop a platform for measuring moment-by-moment changes in the information that people see and use on laptop computers and smartphones. Our group is supported by the Cyber Social Initiative at Stanford. We have already published initial studies about task switching on digital devices (e.g.,http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jcom.12070/full), and have produced some intriguing findings about how people now use digital media (e.g., Stanford students switch screens on their laptop computers, on average, every 10 to 20 seconds).

We are seeking to extend our platform to a range of devices, and to build database tools to store and manipulate second-by-second changes over extended periods, for up to several months.

We are working with a mix of devices and operating systems, and need help from a range of programmers who can help build smartphone apps (both iOS and Android), logging software for Windows and Mac laptops, and database structures to manipulate large time series. Specifically, we're looking for people who can help us with the following:

Mac OS X application development (Xcode, Swift, Applescript)
Database development and design (SQL, NoSQL)
iOS applications

We can pay $25+/hr, depending on expertise and experience. Work can start immediately or at the beginning of the Stanford Winter Quarter (Jan 9)
