PhD opportunities

• STIET

  

  Funded by the National Science Foundation, STIET is a multidisciplinary PhD training program. STIET addresses the changes in communications and computing technology, and the uses and requirements people have for these technologies. The research focus is on the use of incentive-centered-design (ICD) to deliver new and improved systems for human use of the Internet.

   

• Open Data

  

  Funded by the National Science Foundation, Open Data allows fellows to engage in a vibrant set of research activities in the conduct of responsible data-intensive science and engineering involving faculty and PhD students from the School of Information, Computer Science and Engineering, Bioinformatics, Materials Science, and Chemical Engineering. Open Data is designed to build a new community of practice around open sharing and reuse of scientific data.
   

   

• Featured Information Research Student Talks (FIRST)

  

  SI PhD students share their current research in informal, bi-weekly brown bag lunch sessions. Presentations begin on September 23. Visit the group website to view the speaker schedule: www.first.si.umich.edu.

Master's student opportunities

• Connect with SI Faculty

  

  Research at the School of Information covers a broad spectrum, characterized by highly collaborative projects. Given the diversity of interests among faculty, SI researchers use a number of methods and approaches and often involve collaborations with faculty and students outside SI. Learn about each of the faculty’s research interests to see if there is a match with your own research interests.
   

   

Undergraduate student opportunities

• SI REU

  

  The School of Information Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Summer Program provides a diverse group of promising students with a short-term research experience to foster their intellectual growth as scientists, and to provide an important building block for a rewarding long-term career in the fields of social sciences and information technology unified by the incentive-centered design approach.

• UROP

  

  The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) creates research partnerships between first and second year students and University of Michigan faculty and research scientists. All schools and colleges of the University of Michigan are active participants in UROP, thereby providing a wealth of research topics from which a student can choose.

   

• SROP

  

  The University of Michigan Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) offers outstanding undergraduates underrepresented in their field of study the opportunity to conduct intensive research across a variety of disciplines. The goal is to prepare students for advanced studies in a PhD program at U-M.
