Summer Internship as Lead Programmer for Sports Based Social Networking Website

Location: Chapel-Hill, NC

Type: 3 month full-time summer internship with the potential to attain permanent employment or work part time during the school year

Description:

We run a start-up intramural sports based social networking website out of Chapel-Hill NC. The website has been in development for 2.5 years, running live since late August, and has grown to over 15,000 users in that time and we are looking to rapidly expand in the coming months. This would be a great opportunity for students looking for advanced responsibilities not found this early at larger companies, the freedom to make creative decisions that influence the company, and the ability to get in on the ground floor of a company that is poised for 10x growth in the next few months.

Responsibilities:

So far almost all of the development has been done by outsourced programmers, so we are looking for an individual who can come in and learn the code on their own and after an initial ramp up period be able to make updates and add advanced features to the site. In addition to a fair amount of programming, this job could include: detailing out and designing new projects/features for the site, code/database optimization, load-testing and security checks. We would need applicants who are very experienced in: ASP.net, C#, AJAX, and MS SQL. Successful applicants will be able to quickly learn and adapt own their own to anything they don’t understand or know how to do as we will not have anyone who will be able to teach them. We are looking for someone to come in and start as soon as possible and work throughout the summer. Extraordinary performance will lead to a full-time offer.

Areas of research include: algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line); data mining (machine learning, pattern recognition, and computational statistics); dynamical systems and differential equations; high-performance computing (including scientific computing and parallel computing); numerical analysis; optimization (discrete, continuous, and stochastic); probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues and queueing networks); statistics (time-series, multivariate analysis, design, and reliability); and supply-chain and operations management (pricing, optimization and performance modeling).

Close interaction with permanent department members is expected, but fellows are free to pursue their own research interests.

One fellowship will be awarded. Candidates must have received a Ph.D. degree after September 2004 or should expect to receive one before the fellowship commences in the second half of 2009 (usually in September). The fellowship has a period of one year, and may be extended another year by mutual agreement. The stipend is expected to be between $95,000 and $115,000, depending on the area and length of experience. An additional allowance for moving expenses will be provided.

Applications will be accepted between October 15, 2008 and January 5, 2009 via e-mail only. For proper and timely handling of your application, it is essential that you carefully follow the submission instructions below.

The complete application must be sent as a single e-mail to goldpost@watson.ibm.com. The subject field of the application should contain the string "2009 Goldstine Application". The e-mail should have the following files attached. A cover letter is not required.

* Complete and attach the applicant profile (profile.txt).
* Attach your full CV.
* Attach the abstract of your Ph.D. dissertation.
* Prepare and attach a 2-3 page research statement describing your current research and the research plan that you would like to pursue if offered the fellowship .

Important information

Deadline: For fairness, and due to the fact that we start the evaluation process immediately after the deadline, the deadline is strictly enforced.

Attachments: We strongly prefer all documents in PDF format, but Word or PostScript documents will be accepted if you absolutely cannot generate them in PDF. If your mailer would not allow all attachments in a single message, you may create a compressed Unix tar file or a Windows zip file and attach that. While creating PostScript and/or PDF documents, please try to use fonts that facilitate on-screen reading. For example, including \usepackage{times} in your LaTeX document greatly improves the on-screen readability of the resulting PostScript or PDF document.

A cover letter is not required and it is not recommended to write any important information in the main body of the email containing the application package. You may use the "Additional information" area on the applicant profile to convey anything that has not been covered in the remainder of the application. If you wish to ask a question you need to send a separate message with "2009 Goldstine Query" in the subject line.

Research statement: This is typically a 2-3 page summary of your recent research, and further investigations that you are considering in the near future. The statement is very much an individual matter, and you may wish to consult with your advisor.

Response from IBM: We will contact you by e-mail to acknowledge your application, and later, to inform you of our decision. All applicants will eventually receive at least two responses.

Transcripts: U.S. universities typically issue an official transcript listing courses you took and the grades received. If your university does not issue such a transcript, please mention this in a letter and send it along with the closest equivalent you can provide without undue effort. There is no need to send the transcripts unless you are asked to do so.

Job: Attentive Vision for Robots

2008-11-03T08:20:00.000-08:00

University of Paderborn
GET Lab
One Doctoral/ Post-Doctoral Research Post - Computer Graphics and Computer Vision

Applications are invited for one doctoral/ post-doctoral researcher to work at GET Lab on a DFG funded project entitled "Attentive Vision for Robotic Assistance Machines (AVRAM) --- early clustering approach towards artificial visual attention for increasing performance of active vision systems".

Project goal: Despite its short history modeling visual attention has found many useful applications in different areas such as visual search, perceptual grouping, object and gesture recognition, object tracking, image and video compression and scene rendering in 3D graphics. We intend to broaden the scope to areas such as driver assistance systems, rescue robotics, aid systems for the elderly or handicapped, and other areas where machine vision could play a helping role for people. In this project, we aim to demonstrate attention behaviors on real-time active vision systems integrated in mobile robots working in natural 3D environments with live sensor data so that this work may become a milestone towards the long-term target of biologically inspired human assistance machines. For this purpose, we are extending the modalities of our existing attention model by adding the necessary feature channels of motion and depth, and reformulating the rest of the attention model in accordance with the new changes. Moreover we plan to introduce a spatial memory infrastructure into the model to store locations and features of the learned objects and to allow the vision system to operate autonomously for long time spans. In order to quantitatively measure the performance of this project in particular and evaluate the output of attention models in general, we intend to build a sharable resource for performance assessment and benchmarking of visual attention models. The tool for attention evaluation will be developed in close interaction with leading experts in the field and made available for the research community in this area.

The main activities of the researcher at Paderborn will be to investigate how to evaluate different attention models. This research will involve generation of 3D testing scenarios, further development of our robot simulator, visualization of multimodal attention clues, development of metrics for the evaluation of attention models and the development of a web based system for the evaluation of different attention models.

Applicants for the post must have completed a master program in an appropriate area such as computer science, electrical engineering, or physics and should have experience with computer graphics, computer vision as well as the C, C++, and Matlab/Simulink programming languages. As the project is about 3D data simulation, we will be looking for applicants with experience with OpenSceneGraph, OpenGL and ODE. The position is initially for two years with the possibility of extension. It is paid according to the German Public Service Scale (TV-L 13). The closing date for applications is November 28, 2008.

The University of Paderborn is an equal opportunity employer: Handicapped individuals are strongly encouraged to apply, and so are women in areas in which they are underrepresented.

Further particulars are available from, and electronic applications are sent to: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bärbel Mertsching, GET Lab, Fakultät EIM-E, University of Paderborn, Pohlweg 47-49, 33098 Paderborn, Germany, Tel +49 5251 605293, Fax +49 5251 603238, mertsching@upb.de, http://getwww.upb.de. A meaningful application should include a cover letter, a CV, a brief summary of research interests, a statement of interest in the position offered, and contact information for two references.
