At the Applied Cognitive Neuropsychology Lab in the USC Psych Dept., we have developed an online test of working memory and need help with additional development. Tasks include creating different versions of the tests (e.g., adult research version versus child school version), modifying items in existing test, translating ideas for additional tasks and tests (different cognitive abilities and early school readiness skills), creation of a login system and score database for individual users (teachers, researchers, etc.)… Perfect for grad students in computer science. Java experience required. Previous experience with test development preferred. Experience with MATLAB an even bigger plus. This is an ongoing project. We would prefer someone who could invest at least one year but will piece together different students for each individual planned task if necessary. Funding is contingent on the lab receiving grants. Possible opportunity (with heavy involvement) to be included on future grant applications, etc. as Programmer/Consultant. Contact Julia Englund (test co-author) at juliaenglund@gmail.com if interested or for more information.

I'm at The Center for Child and Family Studies, College of Social Work. We deliver training via an installation of the Moodle LMS to Department of Social Services caseworkers. We use a product called Articulate to create SCORM-compliant quizzes. We would like to get aggregate information from the LMS rather than just the gross scores we now can retrieve. It's clear that the LMS is capturing every answer for every participant. We can go into the "Track details" area of the LMS and see each person's response. We cannot retrieve this information, however, unless we go in and hand count. We would like to hire a programmer / grad assistant who might be able to help us build a tool that would retrieve this information from the LMS. We are able to pay for this service.

Glassdor.com has published a report on Software Engineer Salaries at the 15 Top Tech Companies:

Of the 15 tech companies in this report, Google Software Engineers earn the highest average base salary for 2012 ($128,336). Trailing closely behind are software engineers at Facebook ($123,626), Apple ($114,413), eBay ($108,809) and Zynga ($105,568).

They also report that the national average software engineer salary is $92,648. So, the average Software Engineer still makes less than the average Lawyer, Pharmacist, Doctor, vice president, or (much less than) Banker, but more than the average manager, accountant, or business analyst. Also, see the slashdot discussion.
