Wanted - Programmer to write graphical user interface for input and output files for an older computer model of Stream Ecosystems. Programming language is flexible. Would like the interface to be able to call up the various input files so users could modify them and run virtual experiments and then link to the output files and display or export them. The older model is well documented and runs well now, but operates through a text prompt. Details

Internship - University of Minnesota, Supercomputing Institute for Digital Simulation and Advanced Computation. The focus of the internship is the application of computational approaches and visualization methods to supercomputing research. This includes digital simulation and advanced computation and all aspects of high-performance computing and scientific modeling and simulation as well as graphics, visualization, informatics, and high-performance network communications. Internships takes place during the summer. Deadline for applications is February 29, 2008. http://www.msi.umn.edu/general/Programs/uip/

Microsoft is committed to building the pipeline of future computer scientists. As an intern at Microsoft, you’ll have real responsibility, real work, and real opportunities to jumpstart your career. (You’ll get paid, too!) It’s an experience you’ll never find in a classroom. You’ll be given manageable assignments that you can complete while you’re here, and your efforts will likely take shape in Microsoft products—or be used by Microsoft teams—long after you return to school. You could help create a Web application, a marketing plan, a prototype, a user guide—the possibilities are endless. And just imagine millions of customers, not to mention your classmates, seeing your work! Some interns even parlay their experience into a job offer. http://www.microsoft.com/college/ip_overview.mspx

2 PhD Positions in LBS at University College Dublin, Ireland. The School of Computer Science and Informatics at University College Dublin (www.csi.ucd.ie) has two open funded PhD positions in the areas of geospatial personalization and visualization for LBS under the supervision of Dr. Michela Bertolotto. The research relevant to the first position will focus on the development of techniques to ascertain users’ spatial interests by implicitly monitoring their interaction with a spatial dataset via a mobile user interface. User interest models can be built by analyzing this information and used to generate personalized spatial datasets and interfaces. The second position relates to the use of visual techniques for effective analysis of spatial data in LBS. Details
