Future Leaders and Visionaries. You are Invited.

Spots are limited. Please RSVP on InsideBoardroom.com ASAP. Lunch Included.

At the Inside the Boardroom event by Ideagen you will not only get to listen to our amazing speakers share their journey to success, life lessons, career advice and wisdom but also unique to this event, you will get to spend informal time with the speakers and get answers to your questions.

Unlike other speaker events, you will not need to wait for speakers to meet them backstage and steal a minute – instead our speakers have generously agreed to spend their time and answer your questions in a small group. You can ask anything from how they manage their work life balance to what choices in life made them successful.

We are confident that you will learn about qualities that will make you a successful future leader and help secure leadership roles at Fortune 500 companies and public sector. You will discover new career trajectories, disciplines and potentially life changing lessons.

Weekly Newsletter! That may or may not be weekly… New for this year, ACM is announcing Associate Officers! This is an opportunity not only to develop your leadership skills and get more involved with the department, but also to pad your project portfolio and make new friends. Associate Officers will be helping plan and organize social and technical events, work on technical projects that directly serve your peers (such as SnackOverflow). We encourage any motivated applicant who wants to learn or take on a new challenge to apply. No prior experience necessary, just tell us what you want to do. Signup → Research & Jobs! Looking to get a CSE related job or research position during the school year? Don’t forget to check out the career and advice information put out by the CSE department. And peruse through the cse jobs blog. NOTE: The CSE jobs block is DIFFERENT then the general Husky Jobs Blog and is restricted to current CSE students. Which is AWESOME, for YOU! Generic Career Advice → Jobs → Upcoming Events Industry Employer Panel: 10/5/16 @ 5:30 PM in JHN 102 Interview Preparation Session: 10/6/16 @ 5:30 PM in CSE 403 Career Fair Info Session: 10/14/16 @ 4:30 PM in GUG How to subscribe to our Calendar Open Google Calendar.

Spouting propositional logic? Well, we aren’t allowed to give you the solution to that one. As a consolidation, here is a picture of a rabbit in a box to make you feel better. Because at least you aren’t trying to prove the deterministic locatability of a jumping magic rabbit in a series of boxes.

Hi everyone!

ACMW would like to invite you to our Welcome/Homecoming Brown-Bag on Monday, Oct 3rd, at 11am-12pm in the Gates Commons. Come and learn more about our upcoming events and how you can get involved! Bring your lunch and we’ll bring some extra goodies.

Hope to see you guys there!

The Noble Lab in the UW Department of Genome Sciences is recruiting undergraduate CSE majors to carry out research in computational genomics and proteomics. No background in biology is necessary to take part in these projects.

• Annotating big genomic data sets.  As part of the National Institutes of Health ENCODE Consortium, we have developed a software analysis pipeline called Segway for automatically annotating the human genome on the basis of large collections of diverse high-throughput sequencing assays. The Consortium has recently completed a third round of experiments, and we are embarking on a new annotation effort based on this new data. The undergraduate would assist in this annotation process. Knowledge of Python is a plus, but not required.

• Differential measurement of 3D genome structure. The UW Center for Nuclear Organization and Function aims to characterize the 3D conformation of DNA in the nucleus of human cells.  This project involves implementation and validation of a tool for making sense of Hi-C data, which measures DNA 3D conformation. Ideally, the candidate should be familiar with Python and the Unix environment. Some coursework in statistics is helpful but not essential.

• Software for mass spectrometry analysis. The Crux mass spectrometry toolkit helps scientists analyze and interpret large protein mass spectrometry data sets. The software is command line driven, written in C++ and compiled under Linux, MacOS and native Windows. We need help maintaining the software by responding to user requests and adding new features. Longer term projects may involve improving memory usage, adding new statistical methods, or adding a GUI to the software. Candidates should be familiar with programming in C++.

Each of these research projects will initially be done for research credits. In future quarters, students who perform well may opt to convert to a paid research assistant position. If you are interested in one or more of these projects, please send a resume and transcript to Dawn Counts (dawnc@uw.edu).

The CSE Security Lab looking for an undergraduate to help develop and maintain Confidante, an encrypted email client that makes sending PGP encrypted email easy by using Keybase (https://keybase.io) for automatic key management.

Confidante is built with modern web technologies including React, Electron, and Node.js. This is a great opportunity to learn how to write web apps, improve your JavaScript, and contribute to ongoing research in the security lab.

For more information about Confidante, please contact franzi@cs.washington.edu.

We’re looking for someone for approximately 10-20 hours a week to:
– Help maintain Confidante (fix bugs, respond to user feedback)
– Add new functionality to Confidante (e.g., improving the user interface, adding encrypted drafts)
– Port Confidante to other platforms (desktop, mobile)

We’re looking for someone who has:
– Familiarity with or willingness to learn JavaScript and modern web technologies
– Strong communications skills
– (Bonus points but not required) Experience with Electron or React Native

If you are interested in this position, please send a copy of your resume, a copy of your unofficial transcript, and a paragraph describing your relevant experiences and interests to Franzi Roesner <franzi@cs.washington.edu>

We at the UW’s Clinical Informatics Research Group (http://cirg.washington.edu) are looking for graduate and undergraduate students interested in hourly or RA positions in software development. This is a great opportunity for students to gain experience with open-source software engineering and health informatics. Our group designs, develops, and administers clinical, global, population, and consumer health information systems for both research and usual care.

Requirements:

·       Demonstrated development experience with PHP or Python, and database experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL.

·       Comfort working with Linux systems at the command line.

·       10-20 hours / week.

Desired experience:

·       Python Flask, CakePHP.

·       HTML5, CSS, Javascript.

·       Development of consumption of RESTful APIs.

·       Mobile dev.

·       Health informatics.

For more information, please contact either Justin McReynolds (mcjustin@uw.edu) or Dr. Bill Lober (lober@uw.edu). Note that we’re also looking for UI/UX developers (see http://tiny.cc/CIRG-Dev-Student ).
