While imprint itself is... missing... ruleswise, the second one can clearly be done with suspend.
When novice researcher enters the battlefield, exile an artifact, instant or sorcery card from your hand with three time counters on it. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend.

This is imprint before it was decided that the rules work better without it being a keyword.

This is basically using suspend, but making it cheaper/faster than Jhoira's first activation. Also circumventing mana cost on a much greater scale since it's not a singular legendary.
I like neither.

Look at the card. Now back to Jace. Now back to that card, now back to Jace! Sadly, it isn't Jace, but if it stopped being a junk rare and became relevant, it could act like it's Jace. Crack some Worldwake. What do you have? You have a Jace, the card you wish this card could be like. Look again. THE CARD IS NOW A $75 BILL. Anything possible when you play Magic with Jace and not junk rares. This is probably spam.
Maybe you guys could get up with a better keyword that will present researching?
How about something like this:
Novice Researcher1U
creature -- wizard
Research Sorcery 3 (When ~ enters the battefield, reveal the top 3 cards of your library. Put a sorcery card revealed this way to your hand then put the rest to the bottom of your library in any other).
1/1
Museum Curator1UU
creature -- wizard
Research Artifact 5 (When ~ enters the battefield, reveal the top 5 cards of your library. Put an artifact card revealed this way to your hand then put the rest to the bottom of your library in any other).
1/1

artifact
Whenever a player would research, that player instead research twice as many cards.

Though I like mondu_the_fat's variant already, I'd like to toss a keyword action variant in the ring that is inspired by the "<type>scry" thread that popped out recently:
research N <stuff> (To research N <stuff>, reveal the top N cards of your library. Put all <stuff> cards revealed this way on top and all other cards on the bottom of your library.)

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
That insane! I just came up with almost the exact same keyword the other day for a set with a sort of espionage theme. It was to be the W,U,B keyword. Even the name research was the same! I like how you can pick artifact or enchantment or whatknot in mondu's version better than mine though.

When ~ is put into your graveyard from play research 3 (look at the top 3 cards of your library. You may reveal an artifact card and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.) Studying anatomy was never so much fun.

Mondu's version seems pretty cool.

Search your library for a card and put that card into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
Skip your next turn.
