INTEL RESEARCH LAB SUMMER POSITION
INTEL UNDERGRAD RESEARCH PROGRAM http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~humphrys/intel.html
Project Description: The Common Sense project seeks an undergraduate intern to work on the design and development of a social networking website for environmental data exploration, awareness, and activism. The website will allow people and communities to share data from novel sensing devices (e.g., personal air quality sensors developed by our project team) and will facilitate actions to influence policy and effect positive social change. Experience with website design and website programming is desirable but not required. Eligibility: US Citizen or Permanent Resident, and GPA of 3.0 or above. The start and end dates of the project are flexible and students can take a course while conducting research.
To apply or for more information, please contact Dr. Allison Woodruff at Intel Research Center:
Texpand is an early stage web start-up company that will add a new layer of functionality to static Internet articles and online text. Texpand’s dynamic commenting system will allow users to collectively annotate text while providing readers with valuable user-generated information and content providers with increased advertising revenue. Furthermore, since people reading the same articles most likely share similar interests, Texpand will also allow for basic social interaction. We are looking to do for online comments what YouTube did for videos. Texpand has been invited to participate in the 2008 Yale Entrepreneurial Institute (YEI) Fellowship Program. YEI is a selective initiative sponsored by Yale University that provides funding, mentors, and expertise to help launch student ventures.
Who We’re Looking For… We are looking for a third co-founder who will serve as our Chief Technology Officer. The ideal candidate for Texpand’s third co-founder is an experienced web developer who is extremely intelligent, a team-player, adaptable to rapidly changing circumstances, willing to take risks, and able to quickly learn new programming languages. Most importantly, we need someone who has experience building scalable, web-based back-ends and is comfortable with front-end technologies such as HTML, Flash, and AJAX.
The Chief Technology Officer will be responsible for overseeing Texpand’s technological architecture and build-out, while the other two co-founders focus on business development, marketing, and finance. Ability to relocate to Yale’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut for June and July 2008, and then to California thereafter is strongly preferred. Texpand’s third co-founder will receive a generous equity share and a stipend to cover summer living expenses. Alternatively, we will also consider applicants with a strong programming background who are interested in a summer internship. The intern’s primary responsibility will be to build a Texpand prototype. Because Texpand is a company in its very early stages, the intern will be entrusted with tremendous responsibility and will participate in all aspects of launching a small business. Benefits include a stipend and the possibility of a small equity share.
If you are interested in either of these two options, please email your resume to .
I am currently seeking Cal students to serve on the Vice Provost's Student Advisory Council on Undergraduate Education (SACUE). SACUE provides a unique opportunity for motivated undergraduates to provide confidential advice to me in my role as Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education on matters concerning the campus's undergraduate academic life and student experience.
SACUE members help influence decisions that directly impact the quality of undergraduate education at Cal, and I rely on their wise counsel. SACUE meets once a month on a Wednesday from 4-6 PM in California Hall. For more information about the group, what type of students we are seeking, and how to apply, visit http://education.berkeley.edu/sacue.html. The application deadline is Friday, May 23, 2008. I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to make a difference.
Best,
Christina
