NVIDIA Grad Fellowship

amroberts@scu.edu (Apryl Roberts) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 12:46:00 PST

We are now accepting applications for the 2012-2013 Academic Year!

We recently launched our 11th Annual Graduate Fellowship Program, which advances the frontiers of science by awarding grants and providing technical support to graduate students who are doing outstanding GPU-based research.

Up to 10 Ph.D. students from around the world will be selected to receive grants of $25,000 each for research that advances parallel computing. In addition to receiving funding for their research, award recipients will also have access to NVIDIA technology and programming talent. These grants and technical support will be awarded in the 2012 academic year.

Since its inception in 2002, the NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program has awarded 95 Ph.D. graduate students with grants that have helped accelerate their research efforts. More importantly, this funding has helped some students achieve major breakthroughs in their research - breakthroughs that may not have been possible without additional funding.

The NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is open to applicants worldwide. The deadline for submitting applications is Dec. 8, 2011. Eligible graduate students will have already completed their first year of Ph.D. level studies in the areas of computer science, computer engineering, system architecture, electrical engineering or a related area.

Summer Internship at Google for Computer Engineering Sophomores

amroberts@scu.edu (Apryl Roberts) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:43:42 PST

Google aspires to be an organization that reflects the globally diverse audience that our search engine and tools serve. We believe that in addition to hiring the best talent, a diversity of perspectives, ideas and cultures leads to the creation of better products and services. This diversity of our employees and partners serves as the foundation for us to better serve our diverse customers and stakeholders all over the world.

Google is also invested in increasing the pipeline of future computer scientists and software developers, particularly those who are historically underrepresented in the field. Many aspiring computer scientists could benefit from a program that bridges the gap between academic study and a professional internship. Google wants to inspire these students to continue in the field with such a program.

With this in mind, Google announces the fourth year of the Engineering Practicum internship program (formerly known as BOLD Practicum) for Summer 2012. Current sophomores majoring, or intending to major, in Computer Science or Electrical and Computer Engineering will be selected to participate in the Practicum. This program includes three main components: a software project, skills-based training, and professional development. We will have Engineering Practicum cohorts in four offices this year: Boston, MA; Mountain View, CA; New York, NY, and Kirkland (Seattle), WA.

We invite you to join us for the 2012 Engineering Practicum program!

This summer internship program includes:

Software Project: A 10-week development project that you will work on in a team of Googlers and other Engineering Practicum interns.
Skills-Based Training: Enhance your coding skills; get exposed to new tools and programming languages.
Professional Development: Attend weekly technical talks by senior Googlers. Additionally, learn how to enhance your resume, tackle technical interviews, and improve your presentation skills.
Mentorship: Be matched with a Google engineer, other than your manager, to guide you through your summer experience.
Fun: Social activities, community building and networking. Build a relationship with your peers.
Exposure: A unique glimpse into applying your computer science studies in a professional environment.

Program qualifications:

Be currently enrolled in a 4-year BA/BS program, majoring, or intending to major, in Computer Science or Electrical and Computer Engineering, at a University in the United States or Canada.
Be eligible to work in the United States.
Be a current college sophomore.
Have taken at least two Computer Science courses.
