If so, and if you are a U.S. citizen considering graduate study in computer science, then you are eligible to apply for an Oregon Space Grant Fellowship. These competitive fellowships are awarded to incoming U.S. graduate students to our department. Selections are made based on your past academic performance, a good match of your interests with one of our faculty, and your GRE scores. If you are selected for one of these one-year fellowships, you will receive $16,400 in support plus a tuition waiver. These fellowships are part of a national program intended to increase the number of U.S. scientists and engineers available for careers in aerospace and related fields. You will be expected to participate in Computer Science research in one of the areas identified below during your first year, and you must be a U.S. citizen. Our research areas relevant to the Space Grant Program include: algorithm analysis artificial intelligence computer applications in chemistry, physics, and mathematics design of user interfaces for technical programmers parallel computing programming languages and systems real-time systems software engineering software tools for parallel scientific programming visual programming languages About Oregon State University's Computer Science Department ----------------------------------------------------------- The Department of Computer Science is an active, pioneering group. The faculty includes 15 Ph.D.s who conduct research and graduate instruction. 3 of our faculty have been named NSF/Presidential Young Investigators by the National Science Foundation. Approximately 75 graduate students and 325 undergraduate students are enrolled. We have excellent laboratory and equipment facilities, and have been the recipient of a number of research, equipment, and software grants from our industrial friends and sponsors and from the National Science Foundation and NASA. Our section of Oregon ranks eighth in the country in computer-related industry. We have strong ties with several companies in the area, including Tektronix, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sequent, and Intel. Corvallis, home of Oregon State University, is located in the Willamette Valley between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The city of 42,000 is about 85 miles south of the metropolitan area of Portland, 50 miles from the scenic Oregon coast, and 80 miles west of the beautiful Cascade Mountains. Outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, skiing, and hiking are within easy driving distance. The valley experiences wet, cool winters and warm, dry summers. To apply -------- The application process for a Space Grant Fellowship in Computer Science at Oregon State University is quite simple: apply to our graduate school in the usual way, but with 2 changes -- (1) all your application materials, including official copies of GRE scores, letters, etc., must be received as early as possible (and no later than February 1), and (2) let us know of your interest by including in your packet the fact that you are applying for the space grant and the area(s) of interest to you. For more information about our department, or to get the forms needed to apply, see our WWW page: http://www.cs.orst.edu/information/intro.html Deadline for applying for grad school under a Space Grant Fellowship: February 1, but earlier applications are encouraged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message | Submissions ai+ai-predoc@cs.cmu.edu was sent via | Subscribe/Unsubscribe ai+query@cs.cmu.edu the AI-PREDOC | Available mailing lists include mailing list. | AI-JOBS, LISP-JOBS, PROLOG-JOBS, AI-POSTDOC, AI-PREDOC
