HCII Seeks Researchers for Summer 2021 Program
News
Application now available for the 2021 HCII Summer Research Program
Summer 2020 was an unprecedented year for all. The ongoing pandemic prevented us from welcoming our students to Pittsburgh for our usual in-person program. However, we quickly made a new plan and virtually welcomed nearly 40 students for our first ever remote program! We may not know what the future holds in regards to whether the program will be held in-person or remotely in summer 2021, but we do know that we will provide you with a high quality summer research experience.
About the Program
Carnegie Mellon's Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Human-Computer Interaction program is an opportunity for undergraduate students to spend a summer working with some of the world's leading Human-Computer Interaction faculty researchers. Choose from a variety of available research projects at the intersection of psychology, computer science, educational technology and design. Accepted students will work closely with CMU faculty and researchers on research projects with the potential for publication and significant impact on the future practice of the field.
Some of our past summer research students have gone on to join top Ph.D. programs in human-computer interaction, such as those at CMU, Berkeley, and the University of Washington; have published papers in major conferences; have won NSF graduate research fellowships; and have placed in the CRA's Outstanding Undergraduate Award and ACM's student research competitions. We are excited to see what you can do!
