My colleague Tona Henderson and I are beginning the search for a graduate assistant for the 2004-2005 academic year. Because our research is on underrepresentation of women in IT, we'd prefer that it be a woman.
The assistantship includes tuition reimbursement for two courses per quarter (with a possibility of three courses; we're negotiating for that right now), a $16,000 stipend over the 9-month academic year, and a nice office. You also get to work with great people on interesting work.
The MSIT program at RIT offers a wide variety of specializations--including web and multimedia development, XML, game programming, networking, e-commerce, and software development and management. The entrance requirements are quite manageable even for someone without a highly technical undergraduate degree. (And yes, I know the web site is awful. There's a new one under development, but I didn't want to wait for it to post this announcement.)
If you're interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me directly.
