SubjectLine : Undergrad Coop Research Opportunity at Waterloo (deadline Fri 12 Nov, also deadlines in Winter & Summer 2021)

SubjectLine : Undergrad Coop Research Opportunity at Waterloo (deadline Fri 12 Nov, also deadlines in Winter & Summer 2021) https://grec.cs.uwaterloo.ca/ Please forward to anyone interested. In particular I'd recommend you check out Edith Law's (cced) work that like our lab combines HCI & AI and who is very prominent in the Human Computation community. Kate Larson <https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~klarson/> and Edith Law <http://edithlaw.ca/> *Human-in-the-Loop Decision System for Managing Forest Fires*. In this project, the student will create a AI decision support tool for managing forest fires, where the algorithm both makes predictions and explains its predictions / uncertainties. The student will design a study where forest fire trainees will use the decision support tool to make decisions about hypothetical forest fire situations, and discuss their reasoning for accepting / rejecting the AI’s recommendation. The ideal candidate would have experience and interest in both AI and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Fwd: City Internships | 2019/20 Pre-Launch Notification

04 Nov '20

FYI Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Faculty Affiliate, Schwartz Reisman Institute <https://www.torontosri.ca/> University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lewis Talbot <lewis.talbot(a)city-internships.com> Date: Wed, Nov 4, 2020 at 2:52 PM Subject: RE: City Internships | 2019/20 Pre-Launch Notification To: Ishtiaque Ahmed <ishtiaque(a)cs.toronto.edu> Dear Professor Ishtiaque Ahmed, I hope you are well. I have been made aware that my email last week contained an incorrect link for the City Internships application form. Please accept my apologies for this error. A corrected link for your students is as follows: https://city-internships.com/apply <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/R2qAK07RM…> Applications for our 2021 programs are of course now open, so interested students are encouraged to begin applying. The demand we expected has certainly materialized, but availability of places remains good at this point in time. Best wishes, Lewis _______________________________________________ Dear Professor Ishtiaque Ahmed, I hope you are well. A little later than usual, please find my first communication of the 2020/21 academic year below. As always, if you think its contents will be of interest to your students, please share it with them. And, to the extent you are still able to reach them, your recent alumni too. *In-person programs resume summer 2021* While we have refrained from launching our summer 2021 in-person programs so far, we are now taking a more – albeit cautiously <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/PiDYZ3BtF…> – optimistic stance, and will be opening admissions for all summer 2021 programs publicly on Sunday 1st November. Naturally, places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. And we anticipate unusually high demand. Correspondingly, I would like to invite students interested in joining a summer 2021 in-person program to apply now, in advance of the public release, here: www.city-internships.com/apply/ <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/jTCX1WIQH…> (We will not be providing in-person programs before June 2021. Yet, our expanded covid-19 assurances <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/PiDYZ3BtF…> and student financial aid <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/xA41QcVQ0…> will remain in place for all students indefinitely.) *Special remote programs for seniors & new graduates* Our attention in recent months has largely been focused on those whose careers face most imminent disruption; seniors without work experience and new graduates without direct pathways to work. In concert with our academic partners, we have developed two special derivatives of our Remote Program – SemesterAccelerator and GradLaunch <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/ogOECD6QV…> – to address the needs of these two groups. The former is a part-time, semester-length program for Seniors (and other students similarly affected by widespread internship cancellations this year) to gain work experience before they graduate and enter the jobs market. The latter is specifically for recent graduates currently navigating the (obviously distressed) jobs market. Students may learn more here <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/ogOECD6QV…>. And apply here <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/lKM0Kr0K9…> . *Academic partnerships* We were required to redirect a significant proportion of our resources towards ensuring our Spring and Summer students were successfully transferred from in-person to remote placements earlier this year. And, as a consequence, I allowed progress on new Academic Partnership enquiries to fall by the wayside. For those who submitted academic partnership requests in June and July, but did not receive a response, I apologize. I will reach out to you directly in the coming days. With thanks and best wishes Lewis Lewis Talbot City Internships, Founder & CEO [image: CI Logo] +1 310 438 5329 +44 020 3808 4790 *About CI* CI creates globally engaged, career-ready graduates. We partner with traditional educators and leading employers across the globe to help close the skill and knowledge gaps that leave almost half <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/l/9aIczNKs892sZ9vHTpL42Jyw/URwR9dPs6…> of recent college graduates un- and under-employed. Our experiential education programs, which combine a proven blend of work-based training, cohort-based classes and workshops, and on-the-ground coaching, held in immersive and inspirational settings, dramatically enhance career outcomes. Our track-record speaks volumes. CI alumni secure graduate-level employment three-times more quickly, and starting salaries 30% higher, than their peers. CI was founded in London, England in 2011. Today, from its HQ in Los Angeles, CA and in partnership with leading employers across the globe, CI provides immersive and transformational experiences for students and recent graduates. CI work-based learning programs may be undertaken in-person or remotely, and during the summer or semester, with work placements with leading employers in 9 industries and 20 locations globally. *Mailing list preferences* If you'd like to unsubscribe from our notices about work experience and CI programs for students and recent graduates, please click here. <https://sendmail2.city-internships.com/unsubscribe/pQUc2s892Ck0YmwIqAF5b99V…> On average, we send fewer than one message per month during the academic year.

Research HCI Meeting Tomorrow
by Blaine Lewis 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Hi Everyone! Tomorrow in the HCI meeting we will talk about brainstorming sessions, tips on how to make the best of them… plus discuss how we can have productive brainstorming sessions in covid times. And naturally, what better way do that than via a brainstorming session on (remote) brainstorming? :D If you have a few idle minutes today, try to think of ways we can better support remote brainstorming. And join us tomorrow at 10am. Best, Blaine
