Prácticas de verano. TICs para el desarrollo en el IBM India Research Lab

IBM India Research Lab (at New Delhi) is looking for summer interns (2-3
months) for the following project:

Pyr.mea.IT : Permeating IT towards the Base of the Pyramid

Until recently, all the attention of the IT industry were focussed on the
needs of the people at the top of the pyramid (people with high earnings).
The larger fraction of the world (several billion people) are unaffected
with the advances in IT. We are investigating novel technological
approaches and solutions to empower and enable the less-privileged of the
world. We have developed novel voice based technologies as well as
proposed
pragmatic information and service delivery solutions based on them. More
details about the project can be obtained from:

We welcome intern applications in two tracks:

(i) Technology Track: Exploring scalable low-cost infrastructures,
multi-modal interfaces, and the like. We expect the user to have a good
background in a technological area such as (but not restricted to) systems
or speech or user interfaces or mobile-related technologies.
(ii) Design Track: Using Social engineering and HCI design methodologies
to conduct user surveys and technology evaluations. We expect the intern
to be familiar with the standard practices and methods in conducting such
studies, and to be able to use and educate the use of the deployed
technologies.

If interested, please send your resume and a statement of interest to:
