Laboratory-Graduate Research Appointments, Argonne National Laboratory

2008-04-24T08:19:00.000-07:00

The Program

Laboratory-Graduate Research (Lab-Grad) appointments are available for qualified U.S. university graduate students who wish to carry out their thesis research at Argonne National Laboratory under co-sponsorship of an Argonne staff member and a faculty member. The university sets the academic standards and awards the degree. In practice, participation by the faculty member varies from full partnership in the research to general supervision of the student's thesis work. The Argonne staff sponsor undertakes to keep the faculty sponsor informed about the student's progress, and he/she attends the thesis defense.

Research may be conducted in the basic Physical and Life Sciences, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering as well as in a variety of applied research programs relating to Energy, Conservation, Environmental Impact and Technology, Nanomaterials, and Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems.

Duration

Lab-Grad appointments are for a one-year term with annual renewals being contingent upon satisfactory performance by the appointee. Appointments usually commence when the student begins full-time thesis research at Argonne after having completed all other academic requirements. In certain cases, students may be awarded support for pre-thesis studies on campus, provided that they intend to carry out their thesis research at Argonne .

Financial Assistance

Support of a Lab-Grad appointee consists of a stipend, tuition payment up to $5,000 per year, and certain travel expenses. In addition, the student's faculty sponsor may receive payment for limited travel expenses. In cases where the student's annual tuition cost exceeds $5,000 per year, the university is expected to provide additional financial assistance to the student as required.

Application

An application for a Lab-Grad appointment may be submitted at any time during the year and an appointment may commence at any time. You must be eligible to work in the United States and hence be requested to provide required information upon acceptance to this program. A completed application should be submitted at least one month prior to any proposed starting date but earlier application submission is advantageous because the availability of Lab-Grad appointments is limited by funding constraints.

Argonne National Laboratory encourages applications for Laboratory-Graduate appointments from all qualified persons, especially women and members of underrepresented minority groups.

Application Materials

To apply for the Laboratory Graduate Program, print the application packet below. Two (2) reference forms are required; please read carefully and make sure all required signatures are obtained.

Seven positions available at IBM WSTI in RTP

2008-04-19T04:01:00.000-07:00

A total of 7 positions are available immediately at the WSTI in RTP. If you are interested, send your resume to Andy Rindos (rindos@us.ibm.com). Additional contact details at the end of the post.

The WebSphere Technology Institute (WSTI)
WSTI is part of the WebSphere Chief Technology Office (CTO), which works with IBM development, IBM Research and academia on ad tech projects, having responsibility for the innovation of the entire WebSphere portfolio of products. WebSphere CTO owns what is known as the Joint Program with IBM Research (which funds and coordinates IBM Research projects on behalf of all WebSphere products). It also owns both the RTP and Toronto Centers for Advanced Studies (CAS) that coordinate all university relations for the IBM NC and Toronto/Ontario/Canadian communities respectively. It is therefore an ideal place for interested graduate students, though we are equally interested in talented undergraduate students.

The job openings:

A. Virtualization/Cloud Computing team
3 openings available

We are looking for coops/interns to join the WebSphere Technology Institute virtualization and cloud computing team. These positions provide an opportunity to work on IBM's future cloud computing solutions (representing the next-generation data center technology, delivering software and services via the web from the "cloud", with automated allocation/set-up of necessary computing/storage/networking resources at the back-end). Virtualization technologies will be a key part of such solutions. Necessary skills in one or more: PERL, PHP, JAVA

Desired skills/familiarity: VMware and XEN would be advantageous. Good Linux skills desirable. Familiarity with SOA, WebSphere, Tivoli, NC State Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) a plus.

B. DataPower team
2 openings available

The DataPower group for the WebSphere Technology Institute seeks 1 or more highly-motivated students starting immediately, with potential to extend into fall and subsequent Spring. The DataPower group is an emerging technologies team looking at advancing the role of specialized application-layer network devices, collectively called DataPower. The devices are currently focused on Service-Oriented Architecture enablement, but many of our incubator projects are seeking to identify other functional areas where appliances can succeed.

The work will involve the designing, developing, and testing incubator implementations that align with our DataPower goals. Strong Java and C/C++ programming skills are absolute requirement, as well as the ability to design software solutions that meet a broad range of functional and nonfunctional goals. The student will be asked to work a on a very broad range of technical projects. Therefore, demonstrable skill in technical scope is a hard requirement. Further, the student will be expected to work on multiple coding projects simultaneously in a highly dynamic mode. Finally, the student must have a very strong networking background, with explicit experience creating high-performance networking implementations or applications.

Experience with any of the following technological areas are a plus, but not required: Databases (ODBC and JDBC), Web 2.0 (particularly ATOM, JSON, RSS, AJAX, REST as well as the social aspects of Web 2.0), Service-Orientated Architectures (eg. Web Services, etc), Mainframes (IMS, CICS, etc), SIP and IP multimedia protocols, and JavaScript

Preference is given to post-graduate students (MS or PhD), preferably in the first couple years of graduate work, to design, develop, and test incubator implementations that align with our DataPower goals. Will also consider a highly qualified undergraduate student.

C. Web 2.0/Project Zero team
1 opening available

The goal of the student would be to develop a tool that converted Ruby on Rails (RoR) apps to Project Zero apps (see http://www.projectzero.org ). A user could run a simple tool that did the conversion, and then the Zero app could be imported into our IDE.

The goals for the student would be as follows:

Learn Project Zero and RoR
Convert simple RoR apps to Zero apps. Convert RoR REST resources into Zero REST resources without changing Ruby code - this can be done by using the Zero-JRuby integration I outlined in a developerWorks article. All configuration and static web content should also be moved accordingly
Convert RoR app's ActiveRecord usage to Zero's ZRM.
Convert Ruby code into Groovy, and Ruby templates into Groovy templates.
Handle any Zero-specific optimizations (things that might not be possible in RoR).
Integrate tool with Zero CLI
Work with web IDE team to make importing RoR apps -> Zero apps a one-click process.

The student's work would eventually be available on projectzero.org, which is a great thing to have on your resume.

D. Student with website development skills.

Gnu EDA project and Google Summer of Code

2008-03-26T08:08:00.001-07:00

Students: want to get paid working on open source?
Apply for the Google Summer of Code! [4]

The Gnu EDA project (gEDA) [0] has produced and continues working on a full GPL'd suite of Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and production.

The gEDA project has been accepted as a mentoring organization for the 2008 Google summer of code (GSoC). Several of the software packages making up gEDA have projects [1] and mentors [2] waiting for students to dive into them. One of those projects, gwave [3] has a UNC-CS and Chapel Hill connection - yours truly, Steve Tell (UNC MS '91, CS staff 93-99, GSoc mentor 2008).

Gwave is an analog waveform viewer, commonly used for interactively exploring the output of a circuit simulator such as spice or gnucap. It is essentialy the simplest possible data-visualization
tool, and is is coded in C and scheme, using the Gtk+ toolkit. Enhancements in many different directions are possible for programmers of various levels, from infrastructure work to whole new waveform visualization techniques.

In summary, I'd encourage all students looking for programming work for the summer of 2008 to look at the Google summer of code in general, and at gEDA and gwave if those spark your interest.

Anyone with questions about gwave or gEDA is welcome to contact me; I can pass general GSoC questions along the proper person.
