Hello,

 

We would like to inform you about two programs at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT):

 

1. The AWARE-AI NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program

 

Do you have a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and how it impacts and interfaces with humans? We invite applications to the AWARE-AI NSF Research Traineeship Program at RIT by March 1, 2022, 11:59pm EST. Please register for our virtual open house information session on Jan. 27 at 4:00 pm EST:

 

https://rit.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NknwCBDAQayEuTjoaAcdPg

 

AWARE-AI Trainees experience convergent, cross-disciplinary AI research with accomplished faculty focused on software, hardware, human-computer interaction, or cognitive models, in addition to carefully curated career-advancing activities that directly address skill gaps in graduate AI curricula. The program is accepting applications from students in associated RIT Ph.D. and MS on-campus programs in Rochester, NY. 

 

See information on eligibility, benefits, and how to apply for AWARE-AI Traineeships at: https://www.rit.edu/nrtai/benefits-and-applying

 

We especially encourage women, deaf or hard-of-hearing, and African American, Latino/a American, or Native American students to apply to AWARE-AI.   

 

2. The REU Site in Computational Sensing for Human-centered AI

 

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at RIT is inviting applications for summer 2022. In our program, undergraduate students will experience research and other career-enhancing activities in an interdisciplinary environment with special focus on Computational Sensing for Human-centered AI.

 

The REU students will receive a stipend of up to $6000, up to $600 for travel, and up to $1200 for meals. They will also stay free on campus.

 

Application deadline: February 15, 2022, 11:59 P.M. EDT.

 

Program duration: 10 weeks (May 31, 2022 -- August 5, 2022).
