Undergraduate Research Assistant openings Center for Engineering Learning & Teaching
The Center for Engineering Learning & Teaching (CELT) has multiple openings for Undergraduate Research Assistants to join an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate and graduate research assistants working on research studies about the educational experiences of engineering students and how they learn engineering design.
UGRA Position A
Responsibilities may include team and individual analysis of survey, interview, and design task responses; finding, reading, and summarizing relevant research papers; digital archiving of paper data; and presenting research findings in oral, written, or poster form. (The team has presented work at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in the past.)
Ideal applicants will be detail-oriented, organized, effective at communicating in person and in writing, prompt with e-mail communication, and capable of managing their time to meet reasonable deadlines. Applicants should be able to carry out detailed research procedures precisely and be willing to ask questions when instructions are unclear or merit reconsideration.
Background in basic statistics or probability is desired. Basic experience with Excel is required. Experience with Access, SPSS, and PowerPoint is desired.
UGRA Position B
This job will involve producing auditory/musical representations of data from our previous studies. Responsibilities may include some computer programming tasks; finding, reading, and summarizing about relevant music and auditory software or relevant research papers; software documentation; presenting research findings in oral, written, or poster form. (The team has presented work at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in the past.)
Ideal applicants will be detail-oriented, organized, effective at communicating in person and in writing, prompt with e-mail communication, and capable of managing their time to meet reasonable deadlines. Applicants should be able to work independently on assigned tasks and be willing to ask questions when instructions are unclear or merit reconsideration. The applicant should be self-motivated and willing to suggest and explore alternative solutions.
Musical background is required, including basic music theory and at least one year vocal or instrumental study. Programming experience with a modern object-oriented language (C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic, ruby, perl, etc.) is required; completion of CSE 143 or equivalent is desired.

Experience with information visualization, human-computer interaction, design, and/or audiovisual arts are desired.
Details about both positions
All new hires will be trained on appropriate social science procedures for working with data from human subjects. All qualified undergraduates are encouraged to apply, regardless of major; applicants need not be engineering majors. Applicants must be current UW students but need not be enrolled for summer quarter.
These are hourly positions paying at $9.75 per hour. Applicants should be prepared to commit to an average of 6 to 8 hours per week. Undergraduate research assistants have access to a computer lab during regular business hours, but most individual work assignments can be done on your own time and computer, provided that deadlines are met. There are few regularly scheduled commitments, other than a weekly team meeting. New hires will start immediately and are expected to be available (on campus) at least through autumn quarter. Employment beyond that will be offered based on prior performance.
For more information about CELT and our research on design learning, see our web site at http://depts.washington.edu/celtweb/research/design.html
