“The Global Innovation Exchange (GIX) — a program founded by the University of Washington, Tsinghua University, and Microsoft — is launching a summer research internship centered around projects in HCI and ubiquitous computing. The program is open to junior and senior undergraduate students who are pursuing a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, or have equivalent skill/knowledge/experience. The program will be held from July 1st to September 20th in Seattle. More information regarding the application and potential projects can be found at this website: https://gixnetwork.org/community/outreach-programs/access-computing-summer-program/.”

Please check out this opportunity in Saarbruecken, Germany (also home of Saarland University, one of our exchange partner schools).  We sent Allen School students last year and they had a great experience!

August 4-9, 2020
Saarbruecken, Germany

Applications are requested from undergraduate students or Master’s
students in computer science, computer engineering, or a related
discipline to The Cornell, Maryland, Max Planck Pre-doctoral Research
School. The fourth of this new annual series of week-long schools will
focus on emerging research trends in computer science, including
databases and data analysis, distributed systems, security and privacy,
Internet measurement and network architecture, large-scale machine
learning, and theory of deep learning. Leading researchers will engage
with attendees in their areas of expertise.

The curriculum will include lectures and interaction with faculty from
participating institutions.

The small, select group of attendees will be exposed to
state-of-the-art research in computer science, have the opportunity to
interact one-on-one with internationally leading scientists from three
of the foremost academic institutions in research and higher learning
in the US and in Europe, and network with like-minded students. They
will get a sense of what it is like to pursue an academic or
an industrial research career in computer science and have a head start
when applying for graduate school.

For full consideration, applications should be received by February 15,
2020. Travel and accommodation will be covered for accepted students.

Robotics has become one of the biggest fields of education and research worldwide with strong societal and economic impact. The ETH Robotics Student Fellowship (ETH RSF) program offers graduate students the opportunity to research alongside experts on the specific topic of robotics of their choice. This fellowship takes place mainly during summer (July – August) and is open to all students worldwide.  The Center for Robotics at ETH Zurich is committed to fostering and cultivating a culture of diversity and equality.

The Center for Robotics at ETH Zurich offers the Robotics Student Fellowship to allow graduate students to carry out cutting edge research in different areas of robotics.

Fellowships will be competitively awarded every year to a number of student applicants with excellent track records and an interest in research.

Please find further details on our Website: https://center-for-robotics.ethz.ch/education/robotics-student-fellowship.html

Application period:

15 January to 28 February 2020 at midnight (Central European Time).

Program dates:

The program will take place from 29 June to 31 August 2020.

Financial award:

Fellows will receive a stipend of CHF 4,000 to cover housing and living expenses. Reasonable Travel and Visa costs are refunded.

Eligibility:

All applicants fulfilling the following conditions are eligible for the program:

• You can attend the entire fellowship period from June 29th to August 31st. (Note that this time is fixed and cannot be changed)
• You are currently enrolled in a master program and your expected graduation date is earliest in spring the year after the fellowship.

CSE Research Night hosted by ACM will be held this year on February 6th from 5:00-6:00 pm in CSE2 G01. This event will offer undergraduate students a chance to learn more about the significance of doing undergraduate research during their time at the Allen School, as well as effective ways to get involved in research and future career prospects in the research field.

Interested in attending? Please fill out this CSE Research Night Questionnaire by January 15, 2020, at 11:59 pm to tell us what specific aspects/information/questions about research you would like to have addressed at this event.

Student Summer Research Fellowship 2020

The Computer Science Department at ETH offers a summer research fellowship for undergraduate and graduate students over the summer months (1 July – 31 August 2020). Applications for the programme are open to all students – international students are particularly encouraged (deadline: 15 December 2019). The department is committed to increasing diversity in the computer science area.

The programme offers you:

• Research experience: Fellows will pursue a research project that aligns with a chosen area of their interest as part of a research group in our department. This includes interacting and collaborating with group members.
• Networking and socialising: A number of on-site socialising events will help fellows to get to know people outside their respective research groups, including current ETH students at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
• Stipend: Fellows will receive a monthly allowance to cover housing and living expenses. Travel and visa expenses will be covered as well.
• Accommodation: Assistance is provided for finding affordable housing during the research stay, once a candidate is accepted into the programme. We will also provide information regarding visa applications (where required).

  Please find further details on our Website: https://www.inf.ethz.ch/ssr-fellowship.html

I wanted to let you know we are now accepting applications for the Computational Neuroscience Training Program, and I was hoping you could pass this information on to your CSE students.

This is a NIH-funded training program that helps connect students with the theoretical neuroscience research community and provides a research stipend. We guarantee two quarters of funding, with the potential for additional quarters and funding for conference travel. Funded research can be undertaken in any UW lab, but does need to be related to computational neuroscience. The program can help connect students with neuroscience labs. (If a student is currently working in a research lab and not sure if it would qualify, they can reach out to cncadmin@uw.edu for guidance).

Applications are due Oct 22. More information and the application form are available on our website.
