  • DesiLit / SLF Literary Arts Foundation Spring 2015 Research Aide, Apply by 12/1

    Nov 23, 2014 9:45 pm32 views

    In this paid research aide position, a student would work with English professor Mary Anne Mohanraj, Executive Director of two literary arts foundations, learning basic and advanced skills useful in the fields of arts administration and publishing.

    The research aide would potentially work on some of the following projects:

     - publishing DesiLit’s new literary magazine, Jaggery (http://jaggerylit.com)
     - setting up readings and literary festivals
     - drafting programs and press releases
     - directly fund-raising from members through internet and print (Kickstarter campaign)
     - growing a small press co-operative
     - drafting non-profit grant applications
     - organizing mentorship programs for new and emerging writers
     - developing online classifieds section for writers/editors/readers
     - reading and assessing grant applications
     - supervising and facilitating a joint blog
     - developing new programs
     - evaluating and maintaining existing programs

    DesiLit supports South Asian and diaspora literature; you can learn more at www.desilit.org.  The SLF (Speculative Literature Foundation, www.speclit.org) supports speculative literature; speculative literature is a catch-all term meant to inclusively span the breadth of fantastic literature, encompassing literature ranging from hard science fiction to epic fantasy to ghost stories to horror to folk and fairy tales to slipstream to magical realism to modern myth-making -- and more. Any piece of literature containing a fabulist or speculative element would fall under our aegis, and would potentially be work that we would be interested in supporting.)

    Students must be available to meet with Professor Mohanraj MWF from 1-2; ideally they should also be able to come out to Oak Park (within a few blocks of the Blue line, Green line, and Metra stops) once a week.

    This position pays $10 / hr for 8-12 hours / week, and is open to currently enrolled non-international undergraduate students eligible to work at UIC.  Strong English skills are essential, along with an interest in literature / creative writing.  Wordpress (and other website design) familiarity is a plus, though not required. 

    To apply, e-mail mohanraj@uic.edu with 1) the subject line SPRING 2015 RESEARCH AIDE, 2) a brief paragraph explaining why this position interests you and what your qualifications are, and 3) an attached resume, including phone number.  The position is open until filled, but review of applications will begin December 1st.

    This position is part of the AANAPISI Educational Employment Grant program offered in partnership by the UIC AANAPISI Initiative, Student Employment, and the Career Services Office. Concurrent to their employment, student employees, along with their supervisors, will engage in a guided career development framework aimed at building lifelong career skills to support lifelong professional success.

    Due to the federal funding restrictions, students eligible to participate in the AANAPISI Educational Employment Grant pilot program must be currently enrolled (part-time or full-time) non-international undergraduate UIC students. We regret that DACA students are not eligible for employment in this program even though they are eligible to work on campus at UIC.

    FREE SURVEY RESEARCH METHODS WEBINARS IN FALL 2015

    The Survey Research Laboratory is offering four introductory webinars on survey research methodology during the fall 2015 semester. The webinars are free to University faculty, staff, and students.

    Introduction to Web Surveys
    Wednesday, November 4, noon
    Timothy Johnson

    This webinar will provide a brief overview of current Web-based survey data collection systems and review the major sources of survey error associated with Web surveys and current approaches to addressing these problems.

     

    Introduction to Questionnaire Design
    Tuesday, November 10, noon
    Allyson Holbrook

    Designing a good questionnaire is a complicated process that includes decisions ranging from questionnaire format and question order to question wording and response categories. The design should aid respondent understanding of questions, recall, and judgment formation, and minimize response editing because of social desirability. This webinar will review basic strategies for achieving these goals.

     

    Introduction to Survey Data Analysis: Addressing Survey Design and Data Quality
    Wednesday, November 18, noon
    Linda Owens

    The basics of analyzing survey data, including techniques for data screening, the handling of missing data, sample weighting, and adjustment for complex survey designs will be addressed in this webinar.

  • Illinois Research Experience at UIUC, in Chemistry, Deadline 2/12

    Jan 27, 2016 9:15 am403 views

    We are happy to announce the sixth year of the Illinois Research Experience for Undergraduates program, with support from the 3M Foundation.  I write now to invite you to urge students to apply to do summer research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  The program will run for 10 weeks, May 29 – August 6, 2016.

    We particularly seek students who have not previously conducted research, are members of underrepresented groups (including women), or are first-generation college attendees.  Students who have completed coursework at the sophomore to junior level by June 1, 2016 are our intended scholarship recipients.  Because of high demand for our program in prior years, applicants should be planning to obtain a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry or related fields between January 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018.

    The scholarship provides:

    *$5,000 stipend for a ten-week stay in our department

    *Housing at Europa House in Urbana, within walking distance to the Department of Chemistry and the rest of the campus

    *Round trip travel cost (up to $800)

    *$600 living allowance

     

    We do require that students have at least two semesters of organic chemistry lecture and laboratory. They should also be inclined to pursue graduate studies in chemistry.  Applications may be made at the website http://chemistry.illinois.edu/reu/.  For detailed information about the research areas of individual faculty members, please see http://www.chemistry.illinois.edu/faculty/index.html. 

    Please apply as soon as possible. Applications received by February 12, 2016 will receive full consideration.   Given heavy demand for our program, files incomplete at 11:59 PM on the closing date will not be kept open for consideration.  Letters of recommendation must be received by the deadline. 

    Attached is the flyer for our REU program
