Math, Computer Sciences, and Physics students, if you are interested in applied research and in free UT tuition, read on!
Why is this a good opportunity? Because (in the words of Greg Thomsen, who works there):
a) These positions provide the opportunity to work in a research environment with engineers, scientists and analysts on real world problems. We have positions for both undergraduates and graduate students.
b) For Graduate students, we can often find a thesis topic that is suitable for the student and can be worked on during work hours. For undergraduate students (and grad students too!), working at the lab provides a great opportunity to see if it is an environment you would like to continue working in after graduating, as we try to hire students into full time positions when possible. Even if things do not work out in finding a permanent position, students often walk away with experience that they aren't likely to find elsewhere.
c) Students who have worked in our lab have typically done well once they have left the lab. Many of the more talented students have found positions within ARL (several within ESL) after they graduated. A significant number of students have gone on to pursue graduate degrees of some sort (MS, PhD, JD)elsewhere, while some have stayed on at the lab if they are continuing their education at UT. While I can only speak for the students that I've supervised/managed, I can't recall any students who didn't have work lined up when they graduated.
d) So, what is this deal with Free Tuition? Pay and the free tuition deal are explained at the very bottom of the page, after the job descriptions.
Here are some broad outlines of positions I know we're looking to fill right now:
1) * Network administrator assistant. Within our lab we have several different networks which need to be maintained and upgraded. These are architected o that Linux servers do all of the computations (usually on a HPC cluster)and have Windows machines as front ends to do visualization and presentation creation. This position would give exposure to the following technologies: magnetic tape libraries, high speed networks (10 Gbs, fiber and Infiniband),server loading balancing technologies, beowulf clusters, statistics monitoring for performance measurements and optimizations as well as multi-core computer servers. For this position, CS students will be preferred, though other majors would be considered if they have the right motivation and skill set.
2) * General purpose software development. Writing C/C++/Perl/Matlab/shell/ Fortran code to support the research performed in the Environmental Sciences Laboratory http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/esl/index.html) at Applied Research Laboratories (http://www.arlut.utexas.edu). Software developed runs the gamut of writing file format manipulation tools, general development infrastructure, implementing signal processing algorithms, maintaining existing software and some high performance computing. Predominantly looking for CS students of any year, though other majors would be considered if they have the right motivation and skill set.
3)* Physics student. Various groups at ARL are interested in finding a student in the field of physics to help out with research and algorithm development. Involves some programming with Matlab. A strong background in physics and math is also very desirable. Ideally you would be a junior or senior. Graduate graduate students are also welcome to apply, as well as potentially graduate students seeking a post doctoral position.
4) * Signal processing development. Looking for motivated physics and chemists (physical and quantum chemistry only) who have a good background in normal modes problems and linear algebra. Would be doing algorithm development in Matlab. For this position, ARL is looking for undergraduates, most likely in their 3rd and 4th years. Others would be considered if they have the right motivation and skill set..
Pay and possibly free tuition:
All positions have an hourly wage associated with them (~$12-17/hr for undergraduates, ~$20-25/hr for graduate students) based on the student's standing at the university (freshman, sophomore, etc).
Undergraduates who are at least juniors with a 3.5 or higher overall GPA can apply for partial tuition reimbursement for a semester where they worked and achieved a 3.5 or higher semester GPA. More info at: http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/education/educ_programs.html
To be eligible, students must work at least 12 hours/week for $1000, 15 hours/week for $1500 and 20 hours/week for $2000. GRAs work 20 hours/week and have tuition fully reimbursed plus an hourly stipend. I've found that undergraduates who work ~15/hours a week are those that are most engaged with what we do and benefit the most. Of course this varies depending upon the student and the group they work with.We try to find students who can work during the summers as well as part time during the long semesters. This allows them to become engaged in larger projects that may span many months/years.
