[R-jobs] Summer student internship placement at University of York / YCCSA / SEI (paid)

[Corrado Topi]

Dear R-lings,

I did not know which list to post to, because it is a studentship so not 
really a job, so it did not fit the r-sig-jobs list .... and it is about 
devloping an extension package interfaced with R .... I hope I did not upset 
anyone. If so apologies.

The Centre For Complex systems Analysis at the University of York (YCCSA) in 
UK in collaboration with Stockholm Environment Institute is looking for a 
highly motivated student in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Applied 
Statistics or related fields for a 10 weeks paid student internship over the 
summer 2011, starting in july,  to collaborate in development of a R package. 
The student will participate in research projects to develop prototypes for 
toolkits for statistical predictions of diversity and dissimilarity and the 
generation of spatial landscapes, with applications in the biological and 
environmental sciences. We require excellent development skills and experience 
in CUDA/openCL, and a strong foundation in Computing, Statistics / Applied 
Mathematics and COmputer Graphics. We need an excellent problem solver, able 
to innovate, find solutions and work independently.

For further information on the project please contact ct529 using york.ac.uk or go
