Applications are invited from outstanding undergraduate students not yet
in their final year of studies to undertake 10-week research projects in
Autonomous Robotics at NUI Maynooth, Ireland.

The goal of the Summer Internships in Autonomous Robotics (SIAR) is to
engage students in research projects which focus on the technological
issues surrounding autonomous humanoid robotic soccer. The programme is
funded by Science Foundation Ireland through the UREKA (Undergraduate
Research Experience & Knowledge Award) Programme (www.sfi.ie).

Internships are available for a period of 10 weeks, commencing on 8th
June 2009. Successful students will receive a scholarship of €300/week.
Support for travel costs is also available for international students. A
full social programme is in place as well as seminars and tutorials in
areas such as scientific writing, patenting and presentation skills. The
internships are available to selected students studying a bachelor’s
degree in Computing, Electronic Engineering, Applied Mathematics or
other related disciplines.
