The CSEdGrad project is seeking to hire two (2) graduate students to participate in our research project. These graduate students will work together alongside CSEdGrad project staff to design, implement, analyze, and report on a survey of current graduate students and their advisors in CSEd programs. This work is expected to lead to a conference submission or other publication.

This survey is the primary data collection tool for the CSEdGrad project. The purpose is to understand the experience of CSEd graduate students navigating their academic pathways, research, and perceptions of career pathways. There will be a parallel survey effort targeting the graduate advisors.

As we consider the role of a potential CSEdGrad organization, we want to understand what support is already in place through the array of societies and organizations already providing various components of graduate student support. This project would look at both organizations based in the United States and those that are International. Therefore, we are seeking two researchers that would partner in this work; one would be US based and the other we would hope is from another country. The type of service to be investigated would include and are not limited to: advising/mentoring, career guidance and workshops, job postings, research conference, doctoral consortiums, topical events focused on graduate students, and networking. These organizations can also be focused on a particular demographic, such as those working to expand the presence of Black women in CSEd.

The work would involve identifying the societies and organizations that provide services and creating a protocol that would systematically document what is offered. This work would produce a final report that summarizes the findings and forms recommendations for what this CSEdGrad organization might uniquely do in the future. In addition, we would hope that the work would result in potential links for the CSEdGrad website. Finally, there is the potential for the work to lead to a publication.

Compensation:

We have estimated a level of effort of 120 hours per person with a compensation of $3000 (which works out to roughly $25 per hour)

Timeline:

• Submit CV by November 23

• Interviews through December 3

• Final notice by December 4

• Project completion in April 2021

We are looking to form a team of graduate students interested in designing the CSEdGrad organization moving forward. This team would use models and best practices from other disciplines, as well as the contextualized data resulting from the various research projects related to CSEdGrad, including the survey research on graduate students’ academic and professional pathways and the landscape research on CSEd graduate student support organizations.

This team will also coordinate with the CSEdGrad team and website curator as needed for ongoing engagement of the community. Right now, we are looking for an expression of interest - once the team is formed, they would be responsible for organization and distribution of funds.
