Paid summer research internships at Wellesley's Computer Science Department.

Be part of a team of 8 that is working on the project "Trails of Trustworthiness: Understanding and Supporting Quality of Information." The project is directed by Profs. P. Metaxas and E. Mustafaraj.

Imagine the following scenario: You receive some information through the Social Web (Twitter, Facebook, ...) or the Web (Google, bing, ...) and you would like to verify it. Is there technology that can help you do that? The goal of this project is the design and implementation of algorithms that can maintain "trails of trustworthiness" for information propagated through social media, especially Twitter, but is applicable to other real-time information channels as well. When confronted with information that requires fast action, these algorithms will enable its users to evaluate the provenance, trustworthiness and the independence of the multiple sources that provide this information.

Skills:
We are looking for undergraduates, but graduate students are also welcome to apply.
Some programming expertise (equivalent to a "data structures" undergraduate course) is required, preferably in Python or Java.
Though not required, experience with UNIX, the Twitter API, machine learning algorithms, Web search, or a database query language are each a plus. The session will start with a set of tutorials that will teach you what you need to know.

Location:
The project is part of Wellesley's Summer Science Research Program and is located at the Science Center, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA02481, USA

Dates:
May 29 - August 3, 2012, but some flexibility is possible. Students must participate in the 10-week program, that ends with the preparation of an abstract and poster for the August 2, 2012 poster session. Total compensation will be $4,600 and is funded by NSF.

To apply:
Send email to pmetaxas@wellesley.edu and include a resume, a cover letter, and email addresses of 2 references. The reviewing process is open and will continue until all positions are filled.

Software Engineering at Born Capital

Born Capital is a small, Chicago based global futures technology company servicing institutions around the world. We offer direct access trading of options and futures for institutions, hedge funds, CTA's and professional traders. Born Capital recently started a software development team in Charleston, SC, which currently consists of my boss and myself. We are looking to hire for both senior and entry level software engineering positions. Anyone starting now will be very near the ground floor of several big projects. The majority of the work (at least for now) is done in C++ for Linux, but it is not uncommon for us to use a
variety of other languages. Since we are so small, everyone will get to do a little bit of everything.

Overall responsibility: To design, implement, test, configure and deploy large scale applications with C++. Developers will be working on real-time systems that handle futures stock trading. These systems will be working with trading industry standards like:
Financial Information eXchange (FIX)
FIX Adopted For Streaming (FAST)
SQL and NOSQL databases

Knowledge Areas - required:
C++/C++ stl
BS in Computer Science or equivalent

Knowledge Areas - helpful:
C++ template-meta programming
boost
network sockets (asio or Berkley)
asynchronous events
linux
git

If you are interested in working with us please send email to Jared Corduan, jcorduan@borncapital.com, with an attached resume.

Saakh

Saakh is an online marketplace that aims at revolutionizing social commerce. We plan to crowdsource and curate products made by small producers and independent designers from all over the world. A pioneering e-commerce technology would be the core of company's execution. We want to change the way e-commerce has been done so far. Hence we are looking for a technical talent who would be excited to take a challenge and has an entrepreneurial mindset.

The skills that I am looking for are a good command on Python language. Knowledge of JavaScript, PHP and other common skills required for building an e-commerce website is expected. I am hoping the person can start working early March until May. However, if we find the person is a good fit for the team and vice-versa, we can offer him/her to join us with a proposition of equity in the company. We have no set requirements for work hours/week. It will primarily depend on the person's schedule. The service terms (remuneration etc.) are also negotiable. I am open to exploring the service terms that will entirely depend on the candidate's motivation and talent.

Summer Internship with the Vector Numerics Group at Apple

We are looking for one or more interns to work with our group in Cupertino, CA this summer. Our team writes high-performance mathematical, signal-processing, and image-processing libraries for OS X and iOS (the system math library and the Accelerate.framework, if you're familiar with the platform). The basic requirements are:

   - Be an enrolled student (undergraduate or graduate). Unfortunately, we cannot bring in graduating seniors as interns unless they are starting grad school in the fall.
   - Be motivated to work on a project that is shipped as part of the OS. We do very little unfocused research, and we don't give interns busywork. You will be expected to deliver a piece of a real project. This is good, because it's fun to write code that people use, but it also means that there are expectations and deadlines. That's not for everyone.
   - Be interested in learning about the low-level details of how computers actually work. Our group does extremely detailed optimization (often at the instruction level), which requires learning about details of instruction execution, branch prediction and architectural hazards. Some people find these topics fascinating; if you don't, you won't find the job very interesting.
   - We expect an intern to work most of the summer (~12+ weeks). We'll work with you on exact dates, but working 6 weeks and then going to France for the rest of the summer won't work out. We need you there long enough to learn something and get something done.

Things that aren't requirements, but are plusses include:

   - Experience with a compiled language, ideally C.
   - Experience using a debugger.
   - Familiarity with floating-point.
   - Experience with vectorization.
   - Background in numerical computation, especially numerical linear algebra and signal processing.
   - Willingness to dive into things that you only learned about yesterday.
   - Willingness to ask questions.

Some things that we might put you to work on, depending on your background and interests, are:

   - Improving testing and performance measurement tools for our libraries.
   - Performance-tuning existing software for new processors.
   - Performing some piece of library computation on a GPU.
   - Adding new signal-processing features to our libraries.

Why might you learn from working with us that you probably won't learn somewhere else?

   - The dark art of floating-point computation. Two members of the IEEE-754 standard committee are on our team.
   - How to do in-depth performance analysis and focus optimization effort. In short, how to understand precisely why your code is slow, and how to fix it.
   - Instruction-by-instruction optimization to make a computation run literally as fast as possible.
   - Assembly programming, if you are so motivated.

Other details:

   - This is a paid position.
   - The position is at headquarters in Cupertino, CA.
   - Apple will arrange housing and various intern activities for you, if you like.

If you're interested, please send me a short note and a resume.

Thanks,
