Interracial Black/White Family Research Project
Parents of Children 13-17 Needed for Psych Doctoral Research
Great opportunity to participate in a timely research study!
-----------------------------------------------------
My name is Lindsay Emery and I am a doctoral student in psychology here at UMBC.
I am currently recruiting interracial Black/White family members for my dissertation and I was wondering if I could perhaps ask for help to spread the word to students, staff and faculty at UMBC, particularly who are part of an interracial Black/White family in the area.
My dissertation is looking at how Black/White interracial families communicate together (parents and their biological children) on topics of race and identity. This project will involve me interviewing parents and their children (child has to be between the ages 13-17) who are part of a Black/White interracial family and live in the Baltimore area, to discuss the topic of race and identity. Families will participate in a total of 3 interviews (1-2 hours each) with me (1 parent interview, 1 child interview, and 1 family group interview) and will receive $60 cash compensation in total for their time and participation.
Interested families should email me or call me if interested. All contact information for this project is included on the following two attached fliers (parent and child versions).
Again, to participate, participants must: 1.) be a parent in a Black/White interracial relationship and have a biological child (between the ages of 13-17) that can participate as well, who all live together, and 2.) live in the Baltimore area.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

Research on Security of Mobile Devices and Wireless Networks
Paid internship at the New York Institute of Technology
REU Site: Research on Security of Mobile Devices and Wireless Networks
The NYIT REU Program will provide opportunities for 10 motivated and talented undergraduate students to collaborate with our faculty and graduate students in research on methods of securing smartphones and their networks using both hardware and software approaches (women and minority students are strongly encouraged to apply).
Undergraduates will have access to NYIT's state-of-the-art research facilities and gain valuable hands-on research experience in simulating the spread of malware on smartphones, implementing cryptographic algorithms and authentication schemes for smartphones, studying topology control of wireless networks, geolocating smartphones, detecting physical attack on a network of smartphones, and developing privacy-protected medical sensing methods using smartphones.
The program runs from May 31 - August 4, 2017
Application/Recommendation deadline: February 28, 2017
Benefits include:
- $5,000 Stipend
- Up to $600 Travel Allowance
- $2,800 Housing and Food Allowance
- Graduate School Preparation
- Visits to state-of-the-art labs, security centers, and attend security conferences
- Meet and network with security professionals
- Weekend outings in NYC
Suggested majors include (but are not limited to):
- Computer Science and Electrical Engineering,
- Information Systems,
- Mathematics and Statistics,
- Computer Engineering and other related fields

An REU Site at Rutgers University-Newark that provides students with hands-on research experiences in dynamic urban environmental systems. The site takes advantage of a vigorous multidisciplinary effort that involves near surface geophysics, urban geochemistry and urban ecology in northern New Jersey and especially, the New Jersey Meadowlands. Each scholar will choose one area of specialization but the research and support activities will be integrated to show students:
- how their research experience relates to the whole urban research project,
- how their research affects real-life issues that affect them and their families and
- how they can pursue research careers stemming from this experience.
Research Areas (see the website for full project descriptions):
Near Surface Geophysics
The Near Surface Geophysics Group (NSGG) at Rutgers is engaged in research to develop emerging geophysical technologies for minimally invasive characterization and monitoring of urban environments.
Urban Geochemistry/Biogeochemistry
REU students will pursue research projects in the field of urban geochemistry/biogeochemistry in the polluted urban environment. One area of research focuses on the geochemical processes that control the fate of pollutants such as arsenic and chromium in soils and sediments including advanced spectroscopic tools to assess the mechanisms involved.
Function and Sustainability of Urban Biodiversity
This research concentrates on the structure and function of urban nature. REU teams will investigate whether the proposed causal linkage between biodiversity-ecosystem functioning- ecosystem services –human well-being is applicable to urban systems.
Polar Research
The primary goal of this project is to quantify atmospheric iron properties in the marine atmospheric boundary layer over the Western Antarctic Peninsula.
Dates:
The program will run from June 5 - July 28, 2017
The deadline for the program is February 20
Benefits include:
DUESS REU fellows will receive a $4,000 stipend and free housing at Rutgers University-Newark for the 8-week program (6/5-7/28/17).
Suggested majors include (but are not limited to):
- Earth Science,
- Geography and Environmental Sciences,
- Mechanical Engineering,
- Chemistry, Biochemistry
- Biological Sciences
