*Subject: *[gaia] Seeking Postdoc for UCT Centre in ICT4D
*Postdoctoral Fellowship in ICT4D*
(please circulate, pdf version attached)
The University of Cape Town <http://www.uct.ac.za> Centre in Information
and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D)
<http://ict4d.cs.uct.ac.za> invites applications from suitably qualified
doctoral graduates for a postdoctoral research fellowship.
*The successful candidate will participate in any of the following research
areas:*
- Examining the methods, values, ethics and tools used in ICT4D research
and practice
- Engaging with the concept of “4D”, its meaning on the continent and
the ways it is enacted in ICT4D research and policy
- Designing, implementing and testing innovations that address
challenges in low-income urban and rural contexts or with otherwise
neglected populations
*Applicants must*
- have obtained a doctoral degree in any relevant field within the past
5 years;
- have held no previous professional or academic posts;
- be willing to take up the fellowship in 2017;
- be based in Cape Town, South Africa;
- demonstrate congruence between his/her research interests and the
research areas outlined above;
- have an established or emerging publication record;
- be able to work in an interdisciplinary team environment;
- have good organizational and management skills;
- have good written and oral communication skills;
- be prepared to undertake limited teaching/supervision duties as part
of his/her professional development;
- be prepared to register at the University of Cape Town as a
postdoctoral research fellow and to comply with the policies and practices
of the Postdoctoral Research Sector of the University.
*Value and tenure of the fellowship:*
The University Research Committee (URC) funds the postdoctoral fellowship
to the value of R205,000 for a full academic year. Relocation costs of up
to R15 000 will be paid by the Centre in ICT4D. The URC will make an
additional R15 000 available annually for conference attendance and/or
travel costs, awarded on motivation. Fellowships are awarded for one year
and are renewable for another year on approval of a progress report.
The University
will assist in providing relevant information, but the onus will be on the
candidate to secure their own accommodation.
*Conditions of Award:*
The successful candidate will be required to:
- register as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCT by no later
than *1 November
2017*;
- enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with her/his Principal
Investigator and adhere to the plans and agreements therein;

practices for the postdoctoral sector
*Application Procedure:*
Apply by email to director(a)ict4d.cs.uct.ac.za, providing the following
documentation:
- a cover letter describing the applicant’s research interests and how
they align with the objectives of the Centre in ICT4D;
- a CV that includes full details of publications;

degrees and the doctoral degree;
- the names of two academic referees with whom the applicant has worked
- review of applications will be rolling, and must be submitted by 30

Here is the link to the notes submission site: https://ictd2017.cs.washington.edu/note/
With a 4-page limit, Notes are intended to introduce work-in-progress that may be published later in a journal, as well as to document shorter project write-ups. An ICTD Note is likely to have a more focused and succinct research contribution to the ICTD field than Full Papers. For example, Notes on novel ICTD systems may not cover the entire design of the system but may instead go into depth in specific areas (e.g., how the system was evaluated with real users or how the formative work to create the system was conducted). Notes are also not expected to include a discussion of related work that is as broad and complete as that of a submission to the Full Papers venue. Accepted Notes will be presented as poster presentations at the conference. This year we are also introducing short oral presentations (in addition to posters) for top notes based on the recommendations of reviewers.
Notes will be evaluated by at least two multidisciplinary reviewers in a double-blind fashion and will be assessed according to their research contribution, methodological soundness, quality of analysis, quality of writing, and presentation. Manuscripts considering novel designs, new technologies, project assessments, policy analyses, impact studies, theoretical contributions, social issues around ICT and development, and so forth will be considered. However Notes need not necessarily be as comprehensive, novel, or generalizable as Full Papers.
Submissions
Only original, unpublished, research papers in English will be considered. Notes must use the ACM templates<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates> (LaTex and Word) and must be no longer than 4 pages respectively. The main text, figures, tables, footnotes, references, etc. must fit within these page limits. Additional material may be included in an Appendix, but the text within the page limits must read as a standalone work. Submissions longer than the page limits, not in the template format, not related to the conference themes, and/or not meeting a minimum bar of academic research writing will be rejected without full review. Submitted Notes must not include names or other information that would identify the authors. All accepted Notes will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. Copyright for Notes will be retained by the authors.
Over the past several decades, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become more pervasive, accessible, and relevant in the lives of people around the world. Virtually no sphere of human activity remains apart from ICTs, from markets to health care, education to governance, family life to artistic expression. Diverse groups across the world interact with, are affected by, and can shape the design of these technologies. The ICTD conference is a place to understand these interactions, and to examine, critique, and refine the persistent, pervasive hope that ICTs can be enlisted by individuals and communities in the service of human development. There are multidisciplinary challenges associated with the engineering, application, and adoption of ICTs in developing regions and/or for development, with implications for design, policy, and practice.
For the purposes of this conference, the term “ICT” comprises electronic technologies for information processing and communication, as well as systems, interventions, and platforms that are built on such technologies. “Development” includes, but is not restricted to, poverty alleviation, education, agriculture, healthcare, general communication, gender equality, governance, infrastructure, environment, and sustainable livelihoods. The conference program will reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ICTD research, with anticipated contributions from fields including,but not limited to, anthropology, computer science, communication, design, economics, electrical engineering, geography, human-computer interaction, information science, information systems, political science, public health, and sociology.
