View Student/Post-Doc Job Fair Schedule
The Students@SC Program will again host the Student/Post-Doc Job Fair. The Student/Post-Doc Job Fair is open to all students and post-docs attending SC, giving them an opportunity to meet with potential employers.
This face-to-face event will be held from 10 am–3 pm, Wednesday, November 14, in rooms D163/165/170/172 in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
SC job fair employers include research labs, academic institutions, recruiting agencies, and private industry who meet with students to discuss graduate fellowships, internships, summer jobs, co-op opportunities, graduate school assistant positions, and permanent employment.
Résumés submitted by students will be provided to organizations participating in the job fair. Students should also bring copies of their résumés to the event.
For Recruiting Organizations
Participating organizations will have the opportunity to interact with students in fields related to computer science, information systems, scientific computing, and high performance computing. Ideally, each organization will send two representatives, one from HR and one technical staff member.
Organizations registering for the job fair will receive a table seating two recruiters and access to the fair for two recruiters. Space is fairly tight, but there should be sufficient room to display a vertical banner behind your table if you have one. Each participating organization will also be given online access to student résumés.
Refreshments will be provided for recruiters throughout the day in a separate lounge.
Recruiters do not receive access to the SC Program or Exhibits.
