Hiring PhD students
as Graduate Research Assistants
My Electronic Marketplaces Laboratory is
hiring PhD students for Graduate Research Assistant positions.
Read the following info first!
Don't send email before reading this.
- I am only looking for PhD
students. I am currently not
hiring students whose goal is the MS or BS degree.
- If you have already been
accepted to a PhD program in CMU SCS, and you are interested in working
with me, send me email to set up an appointment with me. I would be happy to meet with you.
- If you have not yet been
accepted to a PhD program in CMU SCS, then these instructions apply to
you. All graduate admissions
for the PhD program go through the CMU department of computer science
graduate admissions committee. To apply for a position in my group, apply
for the PhD program in the CMU Computer Science Department (CSD). The applications instructions are here. You should write in your Statement of Purpose in that
application packet that you are interested in working with me
specifically. Do NOT send me
email to apply. I can do
nothing with such email.
- The application deadline
for the Fall is usually in December.
- If you are accepted for
the Fall, there is a good chance that I can have you start research work
in my group a bit earlier, usually any time between May and September.
- Earning a PhD in computer
science usually takes 5-7 years.
That is also the time it takes in my group.
- The positions cover
tuition and a salary.
