Sorry, there’s been some confusion about this user study: it’s not an online survey, you come to the robotics lab (CSE014) and try out some software in person. Sorry about that. If you were confused, please shoot me an email so I can free up your slot. Thanks!

FYI, this sounds like it would be for credit, but it won’t be CSE credit since it isn’t overseen by CSE faculty.

Subject: JavaScript Under grad needed
To: ugrad-advisor@cs.washington.edu
Hello,
I was instructed by my Prof at ADMX to contact you all in regards to located an undergrad for some work we need done. Below is the job description:
The Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) has a position open for an undergraduate research assistant working for academic credit or research experience and interested in web applications, data acquisition and visualization systems, and particle physics. ADMX is a cryogenic RF-cavity search for axion dark matter in our galactic halo, and is located at CENPA at the University of Washington.
The experiment will begin running this fall, and we are looking for an programming-minded undergraduate to upgrade and modernize our web-based control and data-display system. Knowledge of javascript is required, and a desire to learn on the job. You will be working with someone who is proficient in HTML and php so if you know either of these languages it would help but not required. Research assistant will be expected to upgrade and maintain web applications, respond to bug reports and change requests from users in a timely manner, write well ordered and commented code and provide documentation on usage and code organization. Aesthetic sense also desirable. This is a great opportunity to work on one of the most exciting projects surrounding Dark Matter.
Thanks

Subject: Advertising REU position?

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Position Available
Designing and Implementing a Novel Weight Scale Interface
We are seeking to hire an undergraduate student this summer to help implement a research prototype. We are working on designing and evaluating a weight scale that can track factors influencing your weight and tell you how much various things (clothing, time of day, etc) influence the weight you see when you step on the scale. We are looking for someone to help us implement the front end to this scale.
The student should ideally have development experience in Python, Java, or similar. Tasks will involve authenticating users, reading weight data over a serial port, piping that data through an existing model for each user, and displaying that data in a user interface. Some of the skills for implementing the system can be learned “on-the-job.”
Dates of Employment: Looking to start as soon as possible, but can be flexible. End date will be by the end of August, 2015.
Employment Type: Hourly employment up to 20 hours per week. Timing is flexible. Hourly pay rate starts at $15 per hour depending on year and school and level of experience.
To Apply: Please send your resume and a brief statement of your interest in the position to mjskay@cs.washington.edu

If you plan to do research for credit or for pay, please remember to sign up on your MyCSE accounts. It’s crucial that we have an accurate record of all research.
Additionally, please remember that you are only allowed 6 total credits of graded 498A or 9 total credits of 498B. The first three credits of either one can be A, but the last 6 for honors need to be 498B, and it all needs to be on the same project.
Check out the research pages for details.

The Holcombe Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Clemson University is seeking applicants for a summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. This NSF funded program is entitled: “REU Site: Solid-State Devices for Electronics, Photonics, and Magnetics Technology“. The REU supports up to 10 summer students, with one to four semesters remaining in their undergraduate programs, to become involved with a faculty member and graduate students for a 10 week research experience at Clemson. The program is open to undergraduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Bioengineering, and Physics. Closely related disciplines may also be considered. The program provides summer housing on campus for the students and pays a generous stipend.
Attached is a link to the REU Program Web site. Interested students can apply from this site. The link is:

We’re looking for a highly motivated undergrad to help with Android programming for a health app. The application is under the theme of work on bringing healthcare to mobile phones. You will be learning and performing Android programming. Specifically, the first task is to port an imaging algorithm that is coded in Matlab to Android. The second and more important task however is to perform code optimizations and is experienced in Java and C++ as we will have to write native code for optimization. On the way you will learn and code applications on Android phones to be power and memory efficient.
Programming experience is necessary, specifically: Java, a bit of MATLAB, C/C++.
Imaging knowledge is not assumed.
You can work on the project either for credit or for pay, but not both.
Credit: While you will be starting a little bit late into the quarter, you can earn 1-2 research credits for the rest of the quarter for the work being done.
Paid: If you choose to be paid, you can be paid up to $1000/month depending on the number of hours you put in.

My research group has an opening for one undergraduate to work on a
Machine Learning project, starting this fall. The specific area is
Non-linear dimension reduction/Manifold learning (NLD). The goal for
this project is
(1) *efficient* implementation of NLD algorithms in python. The
current implementations run on thousands of data points (Matlab), 1
million (python). Can you rewrite them to run on 100M? on 1B?
(2) study real world data sets and discover their features, using
the algorithms you implement
– spectra of galaxies from large sky surveys
– the benchmark image data sets CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100
www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html
– recordings of brain activity
The software will ultimately (possibly as soon as the end of the
fall quarter) become a component of scikit-learn.
Requirements. To participate, you MUST:
– be a an expert with cython, numpy and other python scientific
computing libraries (send me the name of a github repository with
code by you, or equivalent proof of expertise when you apply)
Highly desirable (you will gain more from the experience)
– basic notions of probability, statistics and mathematics
– a course in algorithms and data structures
– a curious mind
Rewards for you:
– experience with modern machine learning
– experience with the statistical study of large real data sets
– co-authorship of the package
– 2-4 credit hours
[- depending on your dilligence: co-authorship of research papers
resulting from this project]
What if you are interested but are not a python expert? I cannot work
with you until the python project is underway. But if I do find a
person for this first priority project, then I may have 1-2 openings
in the same area. So, drop me a line.
