As part of the ACTION AI Institute's plan for outreach, education, and broadening participation, we are now welcoming applications from both graduate and undergraduate students to participate in an 8-week research experience at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Selected students will collaborate as teams with ACTION personnel on research related to Computer Security and Artificial Intelligence. All participants will receive stipends, provided by the National Science Foundation, as well as opportunities for housing in a UCSB-owned apartment.
The dates for the Summer Research Program are 17 June 2024 - 16 August 2024. In-person participation is a strict requirement. In addition to research, students will join seminars on professional development and networking. Students will present a poster summarizing their investigation at an annual Undergraduate Research Symposium held at UCSB.
Applications must be submitted online by February 28 for initial consideration.
In addition to our summer program, the ACTION Institute is also hosting a postdoc exchange. Two postdoctoral fellows per year will be selected to spend six months at one of our ACTION partner campuses. Awardees are expected to maintain their employment and appointments at their host institution, but will receive stipends to help with housing and travel during their 6-month exchange. The start and end dates for the postdoc exchange will vary by the postdoc, and must be arranged upon acceptance of the fellowship.
More information can be found at the ACTION Institutes Education and Outreach page. Regular updates to our summer program agenda will also be posted here.
