From Duncan:

I just got a phone call from the CIO’s office. They have an opening for a recent graduate with Java experience (which all of our graduates ought to be able legitimately to claim they have). The position is posted on the USC job website as well as under the CIO office job listings on sc.gov.

Two positions at Defense technologies:

Junior Computer Programmer

Job Description

Junior level software developer to support the development of numerous software applications relating to the command of other sensors. Qualified candidate will be required to provide complete software lifecycle support.

Responsibilities and Duties:

o Learn and support existing development activities.

From Duncan:

The department has received grant funding to hire up to about ten undergraduate and graduate students to serve as outreach ambassadors to high schools (mostly in South Carolina) in hopes of increasing enrollments in the computing programs at USC. During the fall and spring semesters we will have stipends of $500 per semester. If we figure $12.50 an hour, that amounts to approximately five full work days per semester. A visit to a high school out of town would likely be one full day; a visit to a school here in the area would be half a day.

We would also be very interested in having students from this group participate in the Extended Learning Experiences held by the college, when students from high schools around the state come to the college to learn about opportunities in computing.

My name is Zach Sykes and I own a Web design firm in Columbia. We're currently working on a project that requires some Web coding and we're overloaded with other projects right now.

I'm in need of someone that is familiar with ASP .NET code and I figured I'd open up the opportunity to a CSE student or grad student if anyone is interested. It's a relatively small project that would need to be complete in approximately a month and would pay somewhere between $1000 and $2000.

If you know anyone interested or could possibly forward this on to another department or listserve, that would be great.

From Duncan:

I talked this past Friday afternoon with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in Blythewood. Their new Global Outsourcing Services operation is ramping up to 300 new hires in the next 15 months, and they are very interested in May and December graduates. They are registered with the Career Center, so details can be found there.

The work in this division is the management and maintenance of computer systems for defense and aerospace companies across the country (and probably overseas as well). They are primarily interested in unix expertise, but they are also interested in Windows and in SAN. They do have a Unix Academy in which people can be trained. The Unix Academy has an intro section on unix in general and then a week each (or so) devoted to details of HP UX, AIX, Solaris, etc.

The Satellite Oceanography Laboratory has an immediate opening for a part-time (academic year) /full-time (Summer), undergraduate/graduate computer programmer. Duties include (1) maintenance of existing program codes and (2) development of new program codes in support of ongoing satellite data management and scientific research activities. The lab primarily focuses on real time data acquisition and quality control of oceanographic observations from satellites. This position offers a motivated student the opportunity to build their programming skills outside of the classroom. Our research group seeks innovative students that can complete tasks with limited supervision.

ECPI has a specific instructor assignment beginning Monday April 21. The class is Advanced Unix Administration and Lab and would be taught from 8:00am to 1:00pm M&W theory and either Tuesday or Thursday 8:00am to 1:00pm Lab.

CS graduates also earned high salaries. CS tied for second with health majors for the highest median salary at the bachelor’s level ($45,000) and tied for first with engineering at the master’s level ($65,000). This compared to median salaries among all science, engineering and health fields of $39,000 at the bachelor’s level and $56,000 at the master’s level.
