Could you all pass this along.  We don't have a req for this job yet,
but we are beginning to "beat the bushes".  If you or anyone you know is
interested, contact me at john_sherry@ccm.jf.intel.com

The End User Driven Concepts Group at Intel Corporation has a position
possibly opening up for an anthropologist or similar researcher with
ethnographic field experience.  The position would include ethnographic
research of varying degrees of intensity and duration, in a variety of
settings (primarily limited to settings within the U.S.).  The research
is "applied" with an emphasis on generating ideas for new uses of
computing power.  We are looking for someone who has the ability to work
on multi-disciplinary teams, interacting with engineers, marketing
professionals, and others who do not have experience with ethnographic
methods, theory or perspectives, and whose goal is the design of new
types of computing products.

Work would be based out of Intel's Architecture Labs in Hillsboro,
Oregon.
