Recruiting
Prospective Graduate Research Assistants:
The best way to start working with the SIM lab and to eventually become a GRA is to take Prof. Thomaz's graduate course in HRI, or to work with her on an indepenedent study problem. Current or incoming students interested in an independent study project should contact Dr. Thomaz, and include the following:
- 1) What is your interest in Social Machines?
- 2) What is your current status at Georgia Tech?
- 3) Your cv/resume.
Prospective Undergraduate Research Assistants:
We are always looking for hardworking undergraduates interested in doing a UROC project in our group. Please contact Dr. Thomaz by email if you are looking for research experience through the UROC program.
