Summer internship in London: featuring Perl, servers and Jabber
by Will Thompson 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Looking for an internship in London? TruTap <http://trutap.com/> are looking for someone who speaks Perl to work on their server architecture over the summer. Knowledge of IM (Jabber in particular) and familiarity with Erlang (to work with ejabberd) would be pluses; in any case, you'd be given tasks based on what you know. If you're interested, contact Vivek Dasmohapatra <vivek(a)trutap.net>. He allegedly gets a pie, or something, if he finds someone. :-) (The domain discrepancy you may have noticed is not a typo: the site is .com; Vivek's address is .net!) -- Will Simon: Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Extreme Blue Summer Internship @ IBM
by Martin Smith 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

Luke has asked us to forward information about Extreme Blue at IBM - where we've had members attend for the last 2 summers, who rate it highly Martin *_Extreme Blue_* Extreme Blue is IBM’s summer internship programme which combines top undergraduate technical and business talent to develop and commercialise emerging technologies from IBM’s internal portfolios. Student teams work for twelve weeks in an intense incubator-like environment to create business plans and prototypes which address existing market challenges that are then showcased to IBM’s senior executives, business partners, and clients. The internship programme runs at _IBM Hursley_ <http://www.ibm.com/uk/locations/hursley_details.html>, near Winchester and the interns work in small project teams of 4 that include business and technical students, along with IBM mentors from various disciplines and divisions. As an Extreme Blue student, you'll face the challenge of making a real impact in the industry. In addition to being paid a salary of £15,000 pro rata, you will also be provided with accommodation for the duration of the summer close to the IBM Hursley site. The programme culminates with a European Expo where students will have the opportunity to present their work to senior IBMers and meet students from other Extreme Blue labs. *_What we look for in you_* You should be in the penultimate year of your degree; which should be business related for business applicants and science, maths or technology related for technical applicants. Applications will also be considered from MBA candidates studying within a relevant discipline. You must be predicted at least a 2:1. This is a short programme with extremely challenging projects; therefore, all students are expected to hit the ground running. *_Past projects_* Last year's scheme included innovative projects in 3D internet and virtual worlds along with a ground breaking project to translate speech into British Sign Language for deaf users. Not only did students gain software patents for the work that they had achieved, but also saw their work covered extensively by the media in such places as BBC On-line, CNN & Computing. http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/22316.wss Want to read more about Extreme Blue? Read the coverage of the EMEA Expo at ZDNet (http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000193,39289252,00.htm) *_How to apply_* To learn more about the Extreme Blue experience or to apply for Extreme Blue please visit: _www.ibm.com/employment/uk/students/extreme-blue_ <http://www.ibm.com/employment/uk/students/industrial-trainee> The closing date for applications is the *31^st January 2008*.

D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. (New York)
by Alasdair G Kergon 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

The D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology development firm encompassing a number of closely related entities with approximately $33 billion in aggregate investment capital. Since its organization in 1988 by Dr. David E. Shaw, a former computer science professor at Columbia University, the firm has earned an international reputation for financial innovation, technological leadership, and an extraordinarily distinguished staff. While many of the D. E. Shaw group's activities focus on the use of advanced mathematical and computational techniques to trade in various domestic and international securities markets, the firm also devotes substantial resources to the conceptualization, early-stage development, and financing of internally developed start-up ventures. Projects now under development include a groundbreaking effort to build a special-purpose supercomputer designed to fundamentally transform the process of drug discovery. The principal underpinning of our firm's success is an extraordinary staff of exceptionally gifted professionals, each among the very best in his or her field. Our staff includes a number of Putnam Fellows, Rhodes and Marshall Scholars, the winners of more than 20 medals in the International Math Olympiad, IAS members, and other world-class researchers and practitioners from a wide range of scientific disciplines. Our work environment also distinguishes us in our industry. While we are a motivated and productive group, we do not work long hours for their own sake. Casual dress and informality are the rule, as is a strongly entrepreneurial culture that encourages creativity and personal development. Employee satisfaction runs very high, as evidenced by strikingly low staff turnover at both junior and senior levels. In fact, many of us feel that the environment at D. E. Shaw provides some of the most attractive features of academia along with considerably greater rewards. A background in finance is neither required nor expected; we only ask that you have a genuine interest in applying your talents within the private sector. If you think you might be interested, or if you would like more information, I encourage you to send a copy of your resume to Elaine Han at elaine.han(a)deshaw.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
