Graphics/Image Summer Internships: What's around here?

Here is collected a list of local companies in computer graphics and image analysis that are a place to start looking. This list is collected from UNC graphics and image faculty members, and from info given by local industry members themselves. If you know of another company, please send email to taylorr@cs.unc.edu and I will add it to the list.   If a company has gone away or changed its contact information, please let me know this as well. Last checked on Feb 9, 2006.

Suzanne Vogel also pointed me to IGDA's website at http://www.igda.org/nctriangle/info.html, which lists other contacts.

Summer Internships: Our Policy (at least CISMM and Nano)

A summer job in industry is a priceless educational opportunity. You get to assess your professional interests, the working environment of a company, and the living conditions in another region of the country. It is an unparalleled opportunity to try a corporate situation and leave with good will all around.

We encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity, even though it usually delays progress on our projects. People, not papers or projects, are our most important product.

Even if you have already done so, please tell your research advisor whether or not you want to work on our project this summer, the number of weeks, and the fraction of time. If you want to change projects, negotiate that with both your present boss (courtesy says tell him first) and your proposed boss.

Any information, partial or tentative, will be useful and welcome. We will not consider any statements you make at this time to be binding. You can defer deciding whether to take our offer until quite late (April), after you have explored other opportunities.

GlaxoSmithKline note

I work in the Scientific Computing and Mathematical Modeling group at GlaxoSmithKline in RTP, and our group has an open summer internship position that may be of interest to students in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program at UNC. We are seeking talented graduate or advanced undergraduate students with experience in biological sciences who can help us gather and integrate key biological information that will be used to build a mathematical model in the area of bone biology. No specific experience with bone or with mathematical modeling is required.

Please feel free to post and/or email the attached PDF job announcement, and please contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Laura Potter
