Talent Games Initial Invite
Let the games begin! My name is Daniel and I'm a recruiter at Microsoft in the Windows/Windows Live Division. Over the next two weeks, I'm piloting a new way to connect and interact with a diverse range of talented individuals using online and offline interactions in a gaming format (think Alternate Reality Games, puzzles, etc.). I'm building small community of tech savvy individuals that can participate in and influence these Talent Games we're putting together.
Benefits of participating:
-Connecting with other technical individuals across the US
-Interacting with Microsoft staffing and core-tech employees
-Influencing and co-creating a new, fun way to learn about and interact with Microsoft
-Benefiting society by helping nonprofits and social organizations (as part of the games)
-Winning prizes and access to other unique experiences and opportunities through becoming part of a community

Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgendered. The workshop will also devote time to
two large grant databases, GrantSelect and Community of Science (it's not
just for Science), and attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on
experience using COS. Tips for searching databases will also be covered.
This workshop will be held in the Suzallo Instructional Lab on:
Tuesday, 8 February 2011, 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Monday, 14 February 2011, 10:00-11:00 a.m.

Paid Undergraduate research position
Nathan Kutz's (Professor of Applied Mathematics and Adjunct Professor of
Electrical Engineering) computational neuroscience group in the applied math
department is looking for an interested electrical engineering student to
continue work on a circuit design project related to networks of interacting
neurons. The work is focused on using hardware rather than software to
perform difficult and time- intensive calculations. Using numerical
simulations to simulate large networks of neurons consumes a great deal of
computation time. By constructing circuits that obey the same models that we
use in running numerical simulations, we are able to simulate networks with
the computation time independent of network size. Essentially, our hardware
is performing the calculation in real-time. We have completed a prototype
for a simple linear model of a relatively small network and are looking to
expand this project to more complex models and much larger scales.
Applicants should be very comfortable with differential equations and MATLAB
and have a broad knowledge of circuit design and implementation. A basic
knowledge of neuroscience is helpful, but not necessary. We are looking for
someone to both build on what has been accomplished and take it in their
own direction.
Hourly pay can be made available for the project. Potentially a senior
capstone could also results as a consequence of the research agenda.

In need of EE student tutors
My name is Erin Hill and I am the Acting Director of UW Bothell’s Quantitative Skills Center (QSC). In addition to supporting the quantitative needs of our faculty, the Center provides free tutoring to UWB students. Most of my tutoring staff is made up of exceptional students who have an affinity for quantitative material and friendly personalities. UW Bothell recently offered an Electrical Engineering degree and I am in need of seasoned EE students to tutor in the QSC. I would greatly appreciate it if you would pass along that the Quantitative Skills Center is hiring and that more details can be found on our website (http://www.uwb.edu/qsc/employment).
