I'm in the early beta testing stages of my app that flags TV ad breaks to trigger an on-phone action. I have fine tuned it as far as I can take it and would love for someone to review my code to see if I'm missing anything or if additional tools could be applied to improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives. I'm open to whichever technical route you feel is most suitable: CNNs, transformer-based audio models, classical DSP, or a hybrid. The current system performs well with some programming (e.g, sitcoms) but struggles with higher-dynamic range content such as action shows/movies where explosions, music, and other audio events can resemble commercial breaks. I'm looking for someone with experience in software engineering, audio processing, signal processing, machine learning/AI, or related areas.

Sea-C's Lab · School of the Earth, Ocean and Environment · University of South Carolina

The Sea-C's Lab studies how the sea shapes coasts, carbonates, climate, and catastrophes. We integrate sedimentology, hydrodynamic modeling, radar and optical remote sensing, and hydrodynamic / forward stratigraphic simulation to understand how coastal and carbonate systems evolve over seconds and millennia. We investigate the climate of the past, the storms of today, and how they will shape the landscapes of tomorrow.

We are seeking up to two motivated undergraduate or graduate students for a paid summer internship in numerical modeling and high-performance computing. The intern(s) will work inside TELEMAC, a large open-source Fortran-based hydrodynamic modeling suite, to implement carbonate-specific sediment transport parameters into its sediment transport module. This involves modifying Fortran source code, running and validating simulations on HPC infrastructure, and using Python for post-processing and analysis. The work addresses a fundamental open question in marine science – how do the hydrodynamic properties of bioclastic carbonate grains control sediment transport across carbonate platforms and shelves – with direct implications for fundamental science, present-day reef resiliency, ancient systems, and the energy industry.

Position details

• Pay: $20/hour
• Up to 2 openings
• Part-time or full-time
• Duration: 6 – 8 weeks
• Start date: June 1 (flexible)
• Option for hybrid or remote

Preferred qualifications

We recognize that few students will have expertise across all areas below, so we are open to filling two complementary roles. The primary need is a student with strong computing skills; a second position is available for a student with a sediment transport background.

Computing / HPC profile:

• Proficiency in Fortran and Python
• Bash scripting and Linux environments
• HPC experience — MPI parallelism and Singularity containers
• Comfort working inside large legacy codebases

Sediment transport profile:

• Background in sediment transport, coastal or marine geology
• Coursework in fluid mechanics or geomorphology
• Familiarity with hydrodynamic or morphodynamic modeling concepts
• Python or scripting experience a plus

What's in it for you?

• Hands-on experience with a real, open-source hydrodynamic modeling system
• Training in HPC workflows –large parallel simulations on HPC infrastructure
• Work on a project with meaningful scientific impact and clear industry applications
• Potential for co-authorship on a peer-reviewed publication depending on contributions
• Option to continue as a part-time research assistant or for academic credit in the following semester

How to apply

Please reach out with a brief introduction, your resume or CV, and a note on any relevant coursework, coding experience, or modeling background. We are housed in the School of the Earth, Ocean and Environment but actively welcome applicants from Computer Science and Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The Cambridge AI Safety Hub would like to invite exceptional computer science students at South Carolina to apply to the upcoming iteration of the Mentorship for Alignment Researchers (MARS), an AI safety fellowship that matches exceptional students and early-career researchers with experienced researchers and academics from AI labs, think tanks, and academia. In July we will be flying out promising students and working professionals to the United Kingdom to participate in a "sprint week" where they will begin a research project that they'll subsequently carry out remotely through September.

We'll have more than 20 projects spanning multiple disciplines, but a few projects we think especially interesting to computer science students are:

• Research with Yossi Gandelsman (Reve) on whether LLMs can predict the layer at which their own neurons appear, detect polysemantic neurons, identify causal connections between two neurons in their own architecture, or anticipate their own attention patterns.
• A project with Lindley Lentati (Cambridge Inference) on reproducible white-box jailbreak monitoring, covering automated attack generation, multi-layer probe aggregation, and streaming token-by-token detection.
• An investigation with Rhea Karty and Jacob Davis (ERA; LASR Labs) of whether steering vectors for traits like confidence and honesty are context-independent or persona-dependent, using LoRA adapters for character-trained models and tracking trait geometry across training checkpoints.
• Work with James Lucassen (Redwood Research) on deferral protocols for AI control — implementing defer-to-trusted in BashArena, developing usefulness monitors, and building methodology to evaluate them.
• Work with Shivam Raval and Luiza Corpaci (Harvard; AMD) on detecting unfaithful formal translations, using Lean-verified equational theories as ground truth and mech-interp methods to locate where translation failures occur.

Applications close on May 3rd. Students can find more information on our program's webpage.

I’m reaching out because we’ve launched a new afterschool program for middle school students this year called Tech Club, and we’re looking for some additional staff support.

Tech Club gives students the chance to explore a variety of technology-based projects—everything from video game and short film creation to animation, podcasting, robotics, and (hopefully soon) drones.

We already have fantastic staff who are skilled in youth engagement and program management, but we’re hoping to bring in a few individuals with stronger technical expertise. I believe this could be a great fit for college students studying computer science, engineering, media production, or related fields who may be looking for meaningful part-time work.

If interested apply here.

We’re looking for a motivated Developer Intern to help build a secure, on-premise AI system that transforms meeting transcripts into structured legal documents using Gavel.com. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, legal tech, and data privacy.

What You’ll Do

• Deploy and fine-tune open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral) on local infrastructure. (You’ll want them to use existing models, not fine tune one special to you, and you definitely don’t want them to try to figure out hosting on local infrastructure).
• Build a secure pipeline to extract structured data from meeting transcripts.
• Integrate with Gavel.com’s API to generate legal/business documents.
• Ensure all data handling complies with attorney-client privilege standards.
• Collaborate with legal professionals to understand document requirements.
   

What We’re Looking For

• Programming: Strong Python skills; experience with NLP libraries (spaCy, Hugging Face). Proficiency in Javascript or Python,
• Familiarity with integrating with external APIs and LLMs
• AI/ML: Familiarity with LLMs and prompt engineering.
• Security: Understanding of data encryption, secure APIs, and access control.
• Bonus: Experience with Docker, local model deployment, or legal tech tools.
   

Why This Role Matters

Confidentiality is critical. You’ll be building a system that lawyers can trust with privileged information—no cloud, no leaks, just secure, local AI.
