[R-jobs] Paid internship "web application development with R"

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

*Paid internship "web application development with R"*

The main skills for this proposed paid internship are: R, Shiny, and 
components used by Shiny (plotly, javascript). Other skills (Debian, 
Docker, CKAN...) are useful.

This internship offer is part of a partnership between the Grenoble 
Alpes Cybersecurity Institute and the CYBIS project.

The *Cybersecurity Institute* aims to undertake innovative 
interdisciplinary research to address the challenges of cybersecurity 
and privacy. The main areas are low-cost secure elements, secure 
critical infrastructures and their lifecycle management, vulnerability 
research and global challenges in terms of risk analysis and validation 
of major systems, including practical resilience in industry and 
society. The approach is holistic, encompassing technical, legal, 
economic, social, diplomatic, military and intelligence aspects with 
strong private sector partnerships, and privileged national and 
international cooperation with leading institutions in France and abroad.

The *CYBIS (Cyber & International Security)* project aims to make 
available to the general public and researchers indicators and tools to 
analyse recent and current conflicts (in a broad sense including 
cybersecurity), in order to facilitate the understanding and analysis of 
cyber attacks, terrorism and armed conflicts. In the long term, the 
project will closely combine various types of media, such as databases, 
an interactive website, software, training, conferences and seminars, 
articles, reports and folders in publications. This site should provide 
a clearer vision of cybersecurity and possible responses to 
cyberthreats, as well as, more broadly, an enhanced vision of certain 
conflicts, including cartographic analysis, and dynamic visualization 
(interactive graphics showing spatio-temporal, quantitative and 
qualitative data). In addition to databases and online mapping, this 
multilingual site will provide a summary presentation of the various 
national cybersecurity laws and a summary indicator in this field. Its 
ambition is to become an international reference on contemporary armed 
conflicts, crises and cybersecurity.

*Trainee supervision: *Mayeul Kauffmann, principal researcher and 
webmaster of the Cybis project.

*Location: *Saint Martin d'Hères Campus (University of Grenoble Alpes), 
France.

*Duration: *2 to 6 months

*Start of the internship:* April, May or June 2020.

*Indemnity:* Gratification according to current regulations (about 600€ 
per month). Possibility of partial payment of transport costs.

*Missions:* The missions mentioned below are indicative. They may vary, 
depending in particular on the trainee's skills and the duration of the 
internship.

The main mission is described below:


    Mission: Integration of visualization and data repository applications

Description: Produce a library (javascript or R/Shiny/plotly) allowing 
the display of interactive historical maps, respecting the evolution of 
country borders, similar to PeacePRISM. PeacePRISM is a FLOSS (GNU 
Affero GPL) application for visualizing spatio-temporal data built in 
Ruby On Rails and Javascript, which allows such features. The objective 
of this mission is to make these javascript functionalities (already 
existing) reusable in other platforms (notably R/Shiny/Plotly - 
management of the interaction between elements by crosstalk; Rcmdr; and 
CKAN), in collaboration with interested project partners to integrate 
such a tool on their website. The Rcmdr component (for example) would 
allow the creation of an application with a standalone GUI (desktop).

*Required skills: **R (Shiny, plotly, *if possible Rcmdr),**JavaScript, 
JavaScript libraries (D3, Plotly), HTML5, CSS, possibly MVC framework. 
If possible, sensitivity to visualization in the social sciences.
