Professional Development Series: Success for Graduate Students and Postdocs
The Graduate School offers events and presentations throughout the year that are designed to help graduate students at all phases of their education be successful. We have three events next week, with the rest of the fall quarter sessions listed below.
A few of the presentations are being offered more than once, feel free to come to as many presentations as you'd like.
You can also check the Graduate School website at www.grad.washington.edu
All presentations will be held in the Research Commons (ground floor of the Allen Library, unless otherwise noted)
"A Dozen Sentences That Should Appear in your (Academic) Job Application Letter"
Nov 1st from 12 noon-1
When you apply for an academic job, your cover letter is your opportunity to help a hiring committee interpret your curriculum vitae. More important, the letter is your opportunity to excite them about your work in a way that isn't possible with a dry curriculum vitae. Join us for this interactive presentation that helps you think about the key points you want to cover in your letter. Please bring any job announcements you are responding to, or send by email to raan@uw.edu<mailto:raan@uw.edu> in advance of the session. Presenter: Communications Professor Philip Howard.
"Developing a Teaching Statement"
Nov 3rd 3:00-4:20, CMU 230
Increasingly, teaching statements are requested as part of the job application materials for all academic faculty positions. This presentation helps you develop your teaching statement, even if you haven't had a lot of teachings experience as a graduate student or postdoc. You will learn to identify how your experiences as a mentor, lab leader, grader, section leader, or even teaching not in the academic setting can serve as evidence of your ability to be an excellent teacher. Presenter: Karen Freisem, Senior Consultant at the Center for Teaching and Learning.
"Managing Your Research Bibliographies with Zotero"*
Nov 3rd from 2-3
Zotero is one of the major citation management systems used by academics. Citation management systems bring organization and simplicity to organizing and keeping track of your research citations and your bibliography. In this presentation you will learn details about how to make Zotero work for you. Bring your laptop and research topics. If you don't already have Mozilla Foxfire on your laptop, you might want to add it for accessing Zotero.
Presenters: Deb Raftus, Romance Languages & Literatures Librarian and Linda Whang, Engineering Instructional Services Librarian
"Managing Your Research and Bibliographies with Endnote"*
Nov 9th from 1:30-2:30
EndNote is one of the major Citation Management Systems used by academics. Citation management systems bring organization and simplicity to organizing, managing, and sharing your research citations. It will also help you format your in-text citations and reference list in a Word document. In this presentation you will learn details about how to make Endnote work for you. Bring your laptop if you have EndNote already installed on it or sit back and watch the demonstration.
Presenters: Joanne Rich and Amy Harper, Health Sciences Librarians
"From Dissertation to Article: Publishing Your Work"*
Nov 15th from 1:30-2:30
Thinking about sharing your dissertation research? This session will provide information about issues related to publishing your research in a journal article including selecting a journal, managing your rights as an author and understanding copyright issues related to publication. Presenter: Thom Deardorff, Libraries Copyright Officer
"What Are Your Peers Writing?: Using The Dissertation Abstracts Database"
Nov 17th from 11:30-Noon
The Dissertation Abstracts Database is a fantastic and under-utilized resource. In this presentation we will introduce you to the wealth of information in this database. Not only will you be able to determine what your peers are writing about, so as to help you select your own unique topic, but, you will also be able to see what resources they used. Dissertation bibliographies are a wonderful way to help build your own literature review. Presenter: Theresa Murdrock, History Librarian.

Hiring Manager (Reports To) Claudio Basile
Grade 67
Job Description and Requirements
The Verification Group (VG) at Synopsys is responsible for researching, developing, and deploying innovative technologies that enable our customers to verify their hardware designs with greater accuracy and speed. Because of the size and complexity of our customer designs, writing fast and efficient code is a major part of our job. But performance at any cost (i.e. code complexity) is a short-sighted goal. Thus we place a very high emphasis on code quality, and we enforce this with automatic and peer-enforced coding guidelines, design/code reviews, and Agile practices like test-driven development.
This particular position is on a team that, while fully integrated with the larger VG organization, operates much like a small company would. We benefit from “big company” resources provided by the VG organization and Synopsys as a whole, but we move at the speed of a startup. As such, we value independent thinkers who like to solve challenging problems by growing and leveraging their own skills while involving domain experts in the problem solving process as needed. If you are the type of developer that doesn’t let any technical issue stand in your way, then this is the team for you.
An exciting opportunity to be part a small and highly focused team working on a disruptive technology for hardware design verification. Looking for an energetic and self-motivated candidate with good communication skills, strong background in software development, and familiarity with hardware design.
Required:
- Strong familiarity with C++ (STL, design patterns, Boost library), data structures, and algorithms
- Familiarity with Linux.
- BS in CS, EE, or ECE, or equivalent experience.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with hardware design.
- Familiarity with EDA algorithms for logic simulation and verification

Civic Fellowship Opportunities for Undergraduate Students
Applications for the Carlson Civic Fellowship and the Munro Public Service Fellowship are due on Friday, November 4th at 5PM. Both fellowships are administered through the Carlson Leadership and Public Service Center, and open to all undergraduate students at the UW.
As a Carlson Civic Fellow, each recipient will make a commitment to serve a community-based organization from January to June 2012. Fellows will work an average of 10 hours each week on a project designed to meet existing needs within their community organization; ideally these projects will also engage other college students in public service, through service-learning, one-day service projects, and community events. Candidates selected to be a Carlson Civic Fellow will be enrolled in a leadership development seminar and supported with a $2000 scholarship (paid upon the completion of fellowship requirements). This scholarship is intended to free students from work commitments and provide the time needed to work in partnership with the community.
The Sterling and Gene Munro Public Service Fellowship is meant to encourage a life-long commitment to public service by providing outstanding undergraduates with the opportunity to explore their potential for service and leadership in the community. Munro Public Service Fellows are selected on the basis of a proposed public service initiative and their commitment to community engagement. Munro fellows will be selected by December 2011 and be awarded their fellowship during the Winter and Spring quarters of 2012. The total award amount will range from $2000 to $4000, depending on the number of fellows selected.
Benefits of the Fellowships:
- Join a cohort of other student leaders with a commitment to working in community.
- Personal advising and leadership development training from experienced educators.
- Academic course content that ties community-work to academic topics/themes.
- Guidance and advice on leveraging hands-on experiences to launch post-UW goals (employment or graduate school).
- Financial support to put toward your educational expenses or use to advance community-based projects.
Additional information - including detailed guidelines and application instructions - can be found at the Carlson Center website: http://depts.washington.edu/leader/fellowships/index.html
