From an email from a student…

 

I’ve spotted a job listing for a company where I have done a summer placement which may be of interest to some of our first/second years.

 

https://www.codethink.co.uk/join-us.html

 

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6453546687427411968

 

There is a summer placement available which is quite flexible (I did 9 weeks after my IY), and a year in industry which can get quite involved.

 

It’s a great opportunity for students as the people there are all great and willing to help develop skills in Linux, git and other tools for open source development.

 

IY – DCA Designs

Posted on by

Dear students looking for an IY

 

Howard, from DCA Designs (represented at Gregynog by Hester) has just sent us this. Please apply if the area is of interest to you! We want to keep DCA Designs coming back to Gregynog, and they have only had a couple of applications so far. Because they know our students, and come direcly to us, this is one of those positions which you have a high chance with. So it’s worth the effort of applying. If you’re all worried about the CS27020 assignment deadline on Friday, then you have the weekend to apply. But please don’t forget! Put it on your calendar: “Do application” for Friday evening 🙂

 

“It was great to meet so many of you at Gregynog and chat about all things software! As a reminder to those of you interested in embedded software development, our industrial year placement application closes next Monday 12th November.  I hope to hear from many of you in the next few days.  If you have any questions about the process or the placement please contact myself (hester.corne@dca-design.com) or my colleague Howard Stapleton (howard.stapleton@dca-design.com). ”

UTC Aerospace Systems – Year in Industry 2019-2020

 

Dear second year students,

Those of you who were at Gregynog will remember Claire Knights, from UTC Aerospace. She’s just sent me the following email and job advertisement, which some of you got at Gregynog.

Remember, even if you were not at Gregynog, you can still apply! And if you hadn’t thought about doing an IY, perhaps this will persuade you. Claire is a graduate of Comp Sci Aberystwyth. They are targetting us for recruitment. Therefore, applications to them stand a far higher chance of success than to most companies.

Good luck!

Posted on by

Diamond’s 12 month ‘Year in Industry’ placement scheme allows undergraduate students studying for a relevant degree such as Engineering, Software/Computing, Physics, Chemistry or Biology, to gain experience working at a world-class research centre. If you or any of your collaborators are involved with the teaching or development of undergraduate students, I would be grateful if you could cascade the information.

The students will work on their own project during the year, with support from their supervisors and collaborating with staff across the organisation. We have an excellent track record for helping students execute work which is valued by the whole Diamond community. You can read about the programme, and each of the available projects on our website:

Students will also have the opportunity to get involved with other areas of work to gain a wider view of the full range of what a synchrotron does. Training and experience is also provided in the following areas:

  • Presentation training to prepare for the final talk on the project
  • Poster design as an important skill for the communication of science
  • Python programming
  • Science communication to the public, including training and involvement at events
  • An internal programme of seminars and talks from leading scientists
  • Tours and talks of other science facilities across the Harwell Campus, such as ISIS and the Central Laser facility

For example, in 2018, some of the Year in Industry students went to the Bluedot Science and Music festival to represent Diamond, and students have also gone to New Scientist Live and other external events.

Placement students must be registered as an undergraduate for the duration of their time at Diamond and ensure that they can commit to the whole 12-month period. Placements typically start during the summer between academic years 2 and 3. Applicants should be expecting to gain a first or 2:1 honours degree. For the positions advertised, students will need to either:

  • Be a UK/EEA national
    or

Plymouth Marine Laboratory – 2 Industrial Year Placements

Sandwich Course Students

Closing date: 8th June 2018
Description

Sandwich Course Students

We are seeking two candidates to develop solutions in two exciting research projects: (1) visualisation of Earth Observation data from satellites (climatedata.space) and (2) interfacing and networking optical in situ sensors (www.monocle-h2020.eu). Both positions require a keen interest in software development with good problem solving skills and the ability to think laterally. Applicants will be matched with the most suitable project for their interest and experience, but you are welcome to express a preference for either the visualisation or the sensors project. No formal qualifications are necessary but you must be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of computing / programming principles, for example, by presenting marks for degree modules completed.

The roles will include some or all of the following activities:

  • Advanced 2D and 3D web-based open source visualisation systems for intuitive use and analysis of remotely sensed imagery using JavaScript, HTML5/WebGL and Python (visualisation)
  • Sensor communication and interoperability (measurement control, data interfaces) (sensors)
  • Data processing and distribution systems (primarily scripting in Python, Perl or shell)
  • User-friendly GUIs for the software (using web technologies, Python, JavaScript, NodeJS)
  • Web sites and database software development (using PHP, Javascript, XML, PostgreSQL)

Candidates should be undertaking an undergraduate degree that has a considerable computing component, and should demonstrate strong skills and interests in programming, ideally but not essentially in JavaScript, NodeJS, and Python in a Linux environment.

Appropriate on-the-job training in specialist areas will be provided. Opportunities to develop personal interests in computing will be encouraged within the overall context of the research and development activities of our group.

If selected you will be part of our remote sensing research team which consists of over 30 researchers, software developers, and students. You will have a dedicated Linux workstation; additional facilities include other Linux workstations, ~140-node Linux Sun Grid Engine cluster and ~3.5 petabytes disk space. Both PML and the nearby University of Plymouth offer an active student life with many social and sports opportunities. Plymouth itself has many cultural and social amenities, while its proximity to Dartmoor and Cornwall offers great scope for outdoor pursuits.
