2019 Dissertation Institute

The 3rd Dissertation Institute (DI), an interactive workshop for underrepresented (African American, Native American, Pacific Island and Hispanic American) graduate students in engineering, will take place June 23rd – 28th on the University of California, San Diego campus. The Institute is funded by the National Science Foundation and hosted by Old Dominion University and Virginia Tech. The primary goal is to address issues that prolong completion times for those at the dissertation proposal preparation and dissertation completion stages of the targeted population.

The week-long event will focus on skills and strategies needed to successfully complete the dissertation process as well as provide networking opportunities to build connections for future collaborative career advancement. Institute participants will build new writing habits, work on their dissertation or dissertation proposal, and learn skills that will help them continue making progress when they return to their institutions. Participants will be housed in a private room; will share a bathroom with one other participant; receive meals; and be reimbursed for travel costs up to $500. As a part of the application process, participants will be asked to identify barriers that have impeded their progress to completing their dissertation and to provide suggestions for additional topics to be presented.

Fall 2019 UVA Engineering Graduate Teaching Internship (GTI) Program—Call for Nominations

The UVA Engineering Graduate Teaching Internship (GTI) program was launched in 2012 to offer our graduate students the opportunity to develop and hone their teaching skills beyond a teaching assistantship, better preparing them for future careers in academia and beyond.

Since its inception, ~60 PhD students have participated in GTI, with several of these students having gone on to tenure-track faculty positions and citing their experiences in GTI as instrumental to their success in the job search process.  One intern wrote, “After completing this graduate teaching fellowship I can say with confidence that this experience has been the highlight of my graduate education at UVa.”   Another notes “...Teaching Internship has allowed me the hands-on opportunity to learn in a holistic manner what it takes to conduct a university level course- from devising a syllabus to formulating tests and leading in-class discussions. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in this program and have taken away a developed set of critical skills that will allow me to follow my interests in a teaching career.”

To participate in the UVA Engineering GTI Program, the potential Teaching Intern and Teaching Mentor (a UVA Engineering faculty member) will identify a course that will be co-taught by the pair. The Teaching Mentor will be listed as the instructor of record and will receive the teaching load credit for the course; while the Teaching Intern will also be listed as an instructor in Collab and will thus receive student evaluations, which will be helpful in future job searches. The Teaching Intern and Teaching Mentor should each teach roughly half of the classes. The Teaching Mentor will be expected to help advise the Teaching Intern on course development and administration and to attend the classes administered by the Teaching Intern so that he/she can provide feedback on teaching effectiveness. The Teaching Intern will be expected to participate in all aspects of the course, to attend all class sessions, and will be encouraged to participate in programs offered by the UVA Center for Teaching Excellence. Meetings of all Teaching Interns and Teaching Mentors (as well as past GTI participants in some cases) will be held prior to the start of the semester, mid-semester, and after the semester has finished allowing an opportunity to exchange experiences and ideas with other GTI participants, and potentially seek help with any issues that might arise.  

Professor Tim Allen will serve as the program coordinator and will facilitate these meetings and serve as a point of contact for any issues that arise. Professor Allen has an extensive background in teaching pedagogy and developing curriculum. 

Students selected to participate in the UVA Engineering GTI program will receive a fellowship for the semester of their internship. The fellowship will provide a stipend of $9,500 for the semester and cover research-only tuition, fees, and health insurance.

Application: The application package should contain two letters (one from the Teaching Intern nominee and one from the Teaching Mentor), the nominee’s CV, and undergraduate and graduate transcripts. 

  • A letter from the Teaching Intern Nominee: should contain a teaching statement including previous experience, identification of the course (indicating which semester it will be taught) and discussion of course, and reasons/qualifications for pursuing the internship. 
  • A letter from the Teaching Mentor: 
    1. should comment on the nominee's background as pertains to the identified course.  
    2. should also comment on their commitment to truly “co-instruct” the course with the nominee. 
    3. The letter from the Teaching Mentor should be cosigned and endorsed by the Teaching Mentor's department chair who must commit to providing appropriate office space to be utilized by the Teaching Intern for office hours, the nominee's department chair, and the nominee's research advisor who is thus acknowledging the time commitment required to complete the internship. 
    4. If the course has not been taught by the Teaching Mentor before, please include a proposed syllabus for the course.  If the course has been taught by the Teaching Mentor, please include the most recent syllabus for the course.
  • The application should also include a CV and unofficial copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts.  

ALL APPLICANTS MUST HAVE PASSED THE PHD QUALIFYING EXAM TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE INTERNSHIP.

A committee organized by the Director of Graduate Education will evaluate the applications and make final selections.  The number of internships awarded each semester will be based on the quality of the applications and on the funds available to support the fellowship.

Applications for Fall 2019 courses should be submitted electronically to Shannon Barker by February 15, 2019.

June 6, 2018 - For 2018 and 2019 undergrads

Hello:

I am a manager at the University of Virginia Physicians Group that oversees the professional billing for the physicians with our Electronic Medical Record, Epic application. We have an open position listed here, that we always have difficulty finding qualified candidates. The position requires an Epic certification, which consists of 2 weeks of training at a remote location, project and 2 exams. This usually takes around 6 weeks.

I am checking to see if you have any recent undergraduates that may be interested in staying in the area and working on the EMR application. I would have to modify the position posting by removing the certification and experience requirements.

Please let me know if you think there may be interest.

Sincerely,

Richard
