This year’s fellowship (DSSGx) will run from 15 June to 5 September at the University of Warwick campus, and offers a competitive stipend. DSSGx is an independently organised programme affiliated with the DSSG Foundation at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
DSSGx gives aspiring data scientists the opportunity to work on data mining, machine learning, and data science projects with social impact. Participants will work with global non-profit organisations and government bodies to make a real-world social impact with their data, by improving their services, interventions, and outreach.
You are invited to apply before 31 January 12:00 (CST).

Mentor Graphics
Mentor-IESD-UKinternjobdescription
I have just received this from Jacob Tredinnick (jacob_tredinnick@mentor.com). Mentor Graphics take IY students from us every year. I have visited students at both their Altrincham and Newbury locations in the past, and the students have an excellent time there.
This really is a good one to go for, if you like the sound of the job.
Jacob comments: “Could any interested students please email their CV and cover letter to me? We plan to start interviewing in January and will continue until we have filled all of the positions available, looking for a start around July.”
So don’t delay applying!
Gloversure
Dear all,
Gloversure Industrial Year Developers 2020-21 have taken IY students continually for a longer time than probably any other company. This is virtually certain to be a job for one of you, and maybe two or three of you. It’s in Welshpool usually, though they have offices in Chester too now. Welshpool, although small, is an easy train ride or car drive from Aber, and I know a past student on placement there actually commuted it (though I don’t necessarily recommend that). Richard (the MD) and Jon Knight (the Technical Director) are both graduates of this department.
It’s particularly of interest if you are into web and/or software development.

CGI
Fred Long has just been to visit our IY student in CGI, in Leatherhead, Surrey. That’s right on the edge of London, for those who like the big city. He says:
“CGI is recruiting heavily, both for IY placements and graduates.
“Please would you pass on these details as appropriate:
“Kerry Hudson (Student recruitment/co-ordinates IPs and Grads)
Email: kerry.e.hudson@cgi.com
“Mark East (Student recruitment)
Email: mark.east@cgi.com ”
So, if you’re interested, now would be a very good time to contact these people, or go and check out their web site at https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgi-group.co.uk%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc9eb5804be764fee1efe08d769c6acb0%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C637094174326806716&sdata=0WXTLAvYUOjArDO5eFabDmHIMStme4PS1tpFl9MbDp8%3D&reserved=0
Net World Sports, Wrecsam
Here is a great opportunity for a placement with a company which has taken students from us the past two years. You may remember Joana, who led the IY returners presentation at Gregynog, was there.
The company will probably come to Aberystwyth to interview, so you don’t even need to go anywhere!
Please apply for this one if interested – this job is most probably going to one of you.PLACEMENT Junior Web Developer
Grad jobs, Red Hat
Couple of jobs (grad) going at Red Hat. Got these links from an aber grad who says:
“For the last few years, we have been running a graduate program, and have recently opened up applications for next year’s intake.
We have two types of graduate role open, Professional Services Consultant [1] and Solutions Architect [2]. It would be great if you could share these open positions with the department – we have had great representation from Cardiff over the last 2 years, so it would be good to see some Aberystwyth grads coming through the door!
[1] https://global-redhat.icims.com/jobs/73964/graduate-consultant/job?hub=7
[2] https://global-redhat.icims.com/jobs/73967/graduate-solutions-architect/job?hub=7 ”
DCA – short deadline!
The initial deadline for the DCA job was today. Richard just contacted me to say that no-one has applied yet.
This is disappointing. DCA is a company who always come to us for students, always come to Gregynog, and always take students. If none of you want to go there, they might go to another university instead of us next year!
So, if you want to work in the web field, you want to go to a company we know and trust to provide a good placement, and you want a high chance of your application being successful, please apply now! Richard says he will give you until the end of this week.
It would be useful if you could also let us know if you are intending to apply for this post, and drop me an email when you’ve applied. Thanks!

Subject: Second Industrial Year placement student at DCA
Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 13:52:49 +0000
From: Richard Gledhill <richard.gledhill@dca-design.com>
To: Angharad Shaw [ais] <ais@aber.ac.uk>
CC: toh24@aber.ac.uk
Hello Angharad,
I hope you are well and Gregynog went well last weekend.
At DCA we are looking to take on an additional IY student for 2020 for something quite different to our usual embedded software. We are looking for an exceptional student who is comfortable with full stack software development for web interfaces, specifically:
-Data entry and visualisation on web pages
-Interfacing to a database (probably MySQL/NoSQL)
-Server-side data processing and scripting (maybe PHP but could be an
alternative)
-Export of data to Excel worksheets (probably just through a third-party
add-in)
Do you have any students in mind who would be willing to take this on?
It would be a prime opportunity for a student to gain valuable commercial experience in putting together a complex system for us. I’m sure there would be other projects around the side of this too so they would get some variation in their work as well.
Tom Hotston (copied) has kindly offered to make himself available to potential placement students if they would like to talk to him about working at DCA.
Looking forward to hearing if you have anyone in mind,
Kind regards,
Richard

BSquare were at the recruitment fair recently, and met some of you. But here’s the advert for those who missed them there. They will be coming to Aberystwyth to interview (so pretty much guaranteed to take one or two of you), making this a very easy one for you! Interviews will probably be on 4th and 5th December, in the Comp Sci department.
See attached. Apply today!
