Texas A&M University: Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates

Texas A&M University NSF- Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program Computing for Disasters APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 1, 2015 PROGRAM DATES: June 2, 2015 – August 7, 2015 PROGRAM INCLUDES:
  • Hands-on research with responders
  • Seminars and brown bags on research & career development
  • Tours of TAMU laboratories & NASA Johnson
  • Weekly social activities with other students, mentors, & faculty
AWARD:
  • $5,000 for your research work for the summer
  • $1000 meal allowance
  • $1000 housing allowance (if not living in luxury housing provided)
  • Actual travel expenses to and from Texas A&M University
Summer 2015 will mark the third year that the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University is offering a summer REU Program, Computing for Disasters. The program spans 10 weeks and involves undergraduate students from Texas A&M as well as students from other colleges and universities from across the United States. It is hoped that the students participating in the CSE REU Computing for Disasters program will make significant contributions to ongoing faculty research and, more importantly, will gain an appreciation for and an interest in graduate school and a future research career. Disasters pose a comprehensive need for computing, where data must be collected, transmitted, transformed, and displayed to stakeholders in real-time, leading to the acronym of critical real-time computing and information systems or CRICIS. Disasters are a natural focus because it brings together research in "physical science and engineering (e.g., sensors, unmanned systems, models, etc.), social sources of data (e.g., social networking, citizen science, etc.), transfer and storage of data (e.g., networks, cloud computing, context-aware networks, data warehousing, security, privacy, etc.), transformation of data into useful information (e.g., computer vision, human computation, etc.), real-time formal and informal decision making support (e.g., artificial intelligence, optimization, visualization, interfaces, cognitive science, CSCW, policy, etc.)." However, disasters are more than a "big tent" offering a common theme, they encourage expansion of existing research topics in new directions because of the extreme temporal, geographical, stakeholder, and data scales. In addition disaster management requires a new style of research which emphasizes a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach similar to the Smart Health and Well being programs at NSF. Students are offered a specific project based on their interests and course work as part of the acceptance process. They work with responders at Disaster City in Week 1 and learn about human-centered design in computing, then from week 2-9 work with their faculty and graduate mentors on individual research projects. They also meet weekly as a cohort for brown bag seminars on how to conduct research, career paths, and work/life balance, and in week 10 present at two poster sessions. Students also tour NASA Johnson Space Center and interact with industry and have lots of social experiences. ELIGIBILITY:
  • Undergraduate students majoring in computer science, computer engineering, or related field
  • High school graduates who have been accepted at an undergraduate institution but who have not yet started their undergraduate study are also eligible to participate
  • U.S. Citizen or permanent resident
  • GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • Plan to graduate no earlier than December 2015
  • May not enroll in additional academic courses during the summer session
  • Minorities and women strongly encouraged to apply

Algorithm Intern for Startup

I am a senior Entrepreneurship undergrad working on an app for volunteer management. I have a part of the app that requires taking metrics gathered from the app and computing a score that can describe each volunteer. I am in no way capable of writing such an algorithm and figured it'd be a good opportunity to get one of the students in the Computer Science Department some experience. At this time the position is unpaid, however if the job is done quickly and satisfactory we will need a position to handle the future iterations of the algorithm. Once funding is in place, the position will become a paid internship and more than likely translate into employment. If you can think of a candidate that would be interested, or would post this to your jobs board that would be fantastic. Best Regards, Ben Delgado (757)694-1129 Ben.lan.del@gmail.com

Tutors Needed for CSCE 101, 102, 146 and 215

My name is Melissa Ethridge and I am the Tutor Coordinator at the Dodie Academic Enrichment Center here at USC. I am trying to recruit tutors to work with our student athletes and at this time we have a high need for Computer Science. Specifically, CSCE 101, 102, 146 and 215. The Tutor Program provides subject-specific assistance to student-athletes as a supplement to the classroom learning experience. The primary responsibility of a tutor is to understand and clearly communicate course content and study skills to the tutees. One-on-one and group tutoring is available in a broad array of courses. I have attached an informational flyer & application. I would appreciate it if you could distribute this information on your department’s list-serv and forward the information specifically to professors who could recommend students as tutors or students you believe would be an asset to our program. Please let me know if this can be done, or if I need to direct my inquiry to someone else. Thank you so much,

Python Programmer Needed at Economics Department

I am looking for temporary assistance from someone competent in programming in Python. I am a professor in the economics department, and I am conducting a laboratory experiment where participants interact with software written in Python. I hired a programmer in the past to write the software, but I now need to modify the program to run some additional variations of the experiment. Thus, I need someone to take his current program and extend it. This essentially amounts to modifying the way that participants in the experiment will be paid based on their actions. I do not expect that the extensions of the program should take too much time, and I hope that it would be done within a month of starting. Please get in touch with any questions. I will be happy to pass along the existing program and more information on the desired modifications. Daniel Jones Assistant Professor of Economics daniel.jones@moore.sc.edu
