Emerging Interface Technologies

The study of the relationship between humans and increasingly powerful, portable, interconnected, and ubiquitous computers has become one of the most rapidly growing and significant fields of technical investigation. Interdisciplinary in the extreme, this emerging field will have an impact on nearly every area of human endeavor. There exists a need to specifically train students in this burgeoning area, and we hold a strong commitment to train students to be the best and the brightest. We feel that involving students in cutting-edge research is the best way to prepare future engineers, scientists, and artists to work at the ever more present interface between humans and computers.

The Oklahoma Network - Research and Mentoring for Postbaccalaureates (ON-RaMP) program offers mentored research experiences for post-baccalaureate graduates in the biological sciences. Participants will work one-on-one with a network of highly skilled scientists from a wide range of disciplines to explore anthropogenic impacts (habitat destruction, climate change, pollutants, etc.) upon a variety of biological systems. In Oklahoma, where rapid urbanization, continued intense agricultural activity, and a historic underfunding of scientific research has resulted in significant habitat degradation and other impacts, it is necessary to produce a generation of highly-skilled scientists capable of collaborating to address future biological needs. To this end, mentees will receive substantial research experience, professional development, and mentorship in preparation to respond to rapidly shifting ecological concerns.


Program Dates: June 2024 - May 2025

Salary: 12-Month, Paid Position (with additional funding for insurance, travel, and research costs).
