The Social Computing Lab at Carnegie Mellon has an exciting summer research
opportunity for undergraduate students. The Social Computing Lab?s REU
program allows talented undergraduates to spend 10 weeks during the summer
in a research laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University. Students will
conduct research in an area matched to the interests expressed in the
student?s application. Guidance and supervision of the research project
will be provided by the faculty member as well as, in some cases,
postdoctoral fellows and/or graduate students. Seminars specific to those
participating in the REU program will be held weekly including seminars on
graduate admissions and career opportunities in science, education,
computer science and engineering. In addition, Social Computing Lab
seminars and those held by Carnegie Mellon?s Human Computer Interaction
Institute and Language Technologies Institute and will be open to the
students, giving them exposure to a wide range of research in social
computing. Each student will receive a fellowship stipend with funds for
housing support.
Applications are encouraged from students who wish to learn to conduct
research in a modern academic research laboratory under the guidance of
experienced scientists and engineers and experiment in social computing and
online collaboration. The REU program will expose students to the
excitement and opportunities of a research career. This experience will
provide excellent preparation for students interested in subsequently
pursuing a Masters or Ph.D. degree. We seek broad participation, including
members of underrepresented groups as defined by the National Science
Foundation (African American, Hispanic, Native American) who may be
considering pursuing further graduate study human-computer interaction,
psychology or computer science.
Although students from other years may apply, this opportunity is most
fitting for students at the end of their sophomore or junior year of
undergraduate studies. We encourage applications from students who would
like to conduct research in the fields of human-computer interaction,
online communities, computer-mediated communication, distributed
collaboration, crowdsourcing, visualization, assistive technology, social
aspects of privacy and security, and language technologies.
