Dear Students,
I am seeking an undergraduate (junior or senior) research assistant for spring quarter to support development of a database of computer models of building structures for use in assessing regional earthquake risk. Activities will include all or some of the following: i) use of UW library journal publication databases (e.g., web of science and engineering village) to identify papers that present suites of building models developed by others, ii) development of a spreadsheet that characterize the building models, and iii) creation of python wrappers for model files to create uniform input/output formats for all models. The preferred applicant will have solid matlab and/or python coding skills, knowledge of structural analysis and design, and interest in structural and earthquake engineering. Per UW policy, undergraduate research assistants will be paid $18.69/hr.
If you are interested in this job opportunity, email me a copy of your resume, UW transcript along with a short note explaining why you are interested in this job by March 10.
