Interdisciplinary Research Career Development: Roadmaps & Practical Strategies* SocWl 590B (Renumbered from 577) Winter Mondays 1:30-4:20 3 credits Contact Dr. Paula Nurius ( <mailto:nurius@uw.edu> nurius@uw.edu) about interest and for information Graduate seminar creating a forum for students spanning multiple disciplines to 1) learn about national trends increasing need for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary readiness in research careers as well as translations between research and real world application, 2) focus on tools and strategies to increase one's capacities and readiness for inter/transdisciplinary research oriented careers, 3) engage collaboratively with peers from other disciplines in these aims, and 4) hone your interdisciplinary career roadmaps for graduate training and beyond. Context & Purpose: Worldwide, social, environmental, and health systems are struggling to respond effectively to chronic and emerging threats to health and well-being, deepening disparities, rapidly changing environments, pressing fiscal constraints, and an multi-level array of factors that transfer risk and resilience across lifespans, generations, and populations. Meeting such interlocking challenges requires development of educational architecture that fosters cross-disciplinary understanding of complex underlying determinants, the ability to translate that knowledge into effective, high impact, and sustainable action, and capacity for interprofessional effectiveness in the emergent models of science, practice, policy, and politics. Yet, opportunities for discipline-spanning deep engagement between graduate students are limited. Join us in building a temporary learning community to practice the "doing" of interdisciplinary interaction, yet also an eye to practical needs such as sharpened career statements, optimizing course choices and mentorship experiences, advancing one's own programmatic or scholarly progress, and having a clearer picture of one's near future career roadmap.

Winter Course - Interdisciplinary Research Career Development
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Faculty Positions in Computer Science
http://cs.illinois.edu/faculty-candidates
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for faculty positions at all levels and in all areas of CS, but with particular emphasis in the areas of: Machine Learning, Theoretical Computer Science, Programming Languages, Computer Systems (including trustworthy computing, distributed, cloud, mobile, OS), Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing. Applications are encouraged from candidates whose research programs are in traditional as well as in nontraditional and interdisciplinary areas of computer science. The department is engaged in exciting new and expanding programs for research, education, and professional development, with strong ties to industry.
Applicants for positions at the assistant professor level must have an earned Ph.D. or equivalent degree, excellent academic credentials, and an outstanding ability to teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Successful candidates will be expected to initiate and carry out independent research and to perform academic duties associated with our B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. programs. Senior level appointments with tenure are available for persons of international stature. Faculty in the department carry out research in a broad spectrum of areas and are supported by world-class facilities, starting with our department’s home in the Siebel Center for Computer Science, and including a wide range of collaborations across the university. The department has one of the leading programs in the United States, granting approximately 200 B.S. degrees, 70 M.S. degrees, and 60 Ph.D. degrees annually.
If qualified, candidates may be hired as a Blue Waters Professor. Blue Waters Professors will be provided substantial allocations on and expedited access to the Blue Waters supercomputer. Qualified senior candidates may also be considered for tenured full Professor positions as part of the Grainger Engineering Breakthroughs Initiative, which is backed by a $100-million gift from the Grainger Foundation. Over the next few years, more than 35 new endowed positions will be established, which will provide incredible opportunities for world-renowned researchers.
To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by January 5, 2015. Applicants may be interviewed before the closing date; however, no hiring decision will be made until after that date. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications. Preferred starting date is August 16, 2015, but is negotiable. Applications can be submitted by going to http://jobs.illinois.edu and uploading a cover letter, CV, research statement, and teaching statement, along with names of three references. For inquiry, please call 217-244-7949 or email HR@cs.illinois.edu.
Illinois is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, status as a protected veteran, or status as a qualified individual with a disability.

ESS CubeSAT Course
Winter Quarter 2015
ESS490H: Special Topics - CubeSAT
SLN: 21429
The Earth and Space Science Department (through the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory - earthweb.ess.washington.edu/space-propulsion/) will be competing in the CubeSAT Centennial Challenge (nasa.gov/cubequest/#.VHT7bGO5RLc).
This challenge involves designing and builidng a CubeSAT capable to
traveling beyond the moon. We are seeking undergraduate and graduate
students across all disciplines to participate in the development of
this system. ESS490 for winter quarter will consist of lectures and a
satellite subsystem research topic for presentation. Questions can be
directed towards Dr. Robert Winglee (winglee@ess.washington.edu)
Seattle startup looking for EE's grad students interested in Wearable Embedded devices, IOT Senors and BTLE for intern positions
eMobileCare
is a startup, building a prototype to remotely monitor health and
well-being of elderly at their place of residence. It also creates
alerts and notifications to keep family and caregivers informed.
Currently I am looking for interns with skills in embedded software/ hardware development (C-based) and building algorithms.
One
of the project will be to analyze data captured from wearable sensors
like accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and pressure sensor to
determine the activity state (Sitting, Walking, Lying, Sleeping, etc.).
Some knowledge of using MATLAB will be very useful.
Other projects will be based on handling data from pulse/ oximeter sensors and environmental sensors.
Good knowledge of Bluetooth Low Energy would be very useful.
Contact Khalid Siddiqui at the e-mail address (Khalid@emobilecare.com) and provide a short BIO with the areas of interest, skill set and availability.
This will establish a link for further dialog.
