NSF REU programs present an rare opportunity for undergraduate students to work with leading research groups on cutting edge technology. It also provides generous support, which usually includes lodging/travel and very attractive stipends. Application Deadline varies, but are around March 1 (some require US citizenship or permanent residency).
REU at UT Austin Computational Science/Engineering
REU at UT Dallas in Software Safety
REU at LSU in Computational Sciences,
REU at Clemson in Collaborative Data Visualization Applications (application due 3/31/2015)

Webinar: Supercomputing in Plain English
Supercomputing in Plain English (SiPE), Spring 2015
Available live in person and live via videoconferencing
http://www.oscer.ou.edu/education/
Over 500 people have already registered for 2015, bringing our
grand total over the years to over 2000 served, from
50 US states and territories as well as 17 other countries in
Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
(If you're in New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont, we'd
especially love to have you, because we've never had anyone
else participate from your state.)
LAST CHANCE TO SIGN UP!
If you don't get registered in time, you're still welcome to
join us, by following the instructions on the webpage, and
also please send e-mail to:
sipe2015@gmail.com
Please feel free to share this with anyone who may be
interested and appropriate.
IF YOU'VE ALREADY REGISTERED, please forward or ignore --
there's no need to re-register.
Tuesdays starting Jan 20 2015, 1:30pm Central Time
(3:30pm Atlantic, 2:30pm Eastern, 12:30pm Mountain,
11:30am Pacific, 9:30am Hawai'i-Aleutian)
Sessions are 1 hour, but please budget 1 1/4 hours, in case
we run long or there are lots of questions.
Live in person: Stephenson Research & Technology Center boardroom,
University of Oklahoma Norman campus
Live via videoconferencing: details to be announced
Registration:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/supercomputing-in-plain-english-spring-2015-registration-14309649547
(You only need to register ONCE for the whole semester,
not for every week.)
We already have over 500 registrations!
So far, the SiPE workshops have reached over 1500 people at
248 institutions, agencies, companies and organizations in
47 US states and territories and 10 other countries:
* 178 academic institutions;
* 29 government agencies;
* 26 private companies;
* 15 not-for-profit organizations.
SiPE is targeted at an audience of not only computer scientists
but especially scientists and engineers, including a mixture of
undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and staff.
These workshops focus on fundamental issues of High Performance
Computing (HPC) as they relate to Computational and Data-enabled
Science & Engineering (CDS&E), including:
* overview of HPC;
* the storage hierarchy;
* instruction-level parallelism;
* high performance compilers;
* shared memory parallelism (e.g., OpenMP);
* distributed parallelism (e.g., MPI);
* HPC application types and parallel paradigms;
* multicore optimization;
* high throughput computing;
* accelerator computing (e.g., GPUs);
* scientific and I/O libraries;
* scientific visualization.
The key philosophy of the SiPE workshops is that an HPC-based code
should be maintainable, extensible and, most especially, portable
across platforms, and should be sufficiently flexible that it can
adapt to, and adopt, emerging HPC paradigms.
Prerequisite:
1 semester of programming experience and/or coursework in any of
Fortan, C, C++ or Java, recently
Available live in person and live via videoconferencing

Large Spring Enrollment
Although official number won't be known until after the end of the add/drop period (some are on the road, and some are still awaiting for visa), Spring 2015 is set to see one of largest enrollment in our graduate programs. Twenty three graduate students participated in the orientation last evening. Over half of them are incoming computer science graduate students, and most of them will be full time.
With increased enrollment, we will be able to offer more elective courses and develop new programs to keep up with fast paced technology advancement.

Lecture Position at UMBC
UMBC has an opening for a full-time lecturer joint between CS and IS. The split would depend on background, teaching interests, etc. This might be suitable for an MS grad with an interest in teaching. More info is here.
