Alpha Omega Epsilon Spring Recruitment Events

As one of the only professional and social sororities on campus, we provide our members with both professional development opportunities and support, and the chance to connect with their peers. Every semester we host a variety of professional events such as practice interviews and resume workshops, as well as many social events such as painting, game nights, and cooking competitions. We connect with other Greek orgs on campus for social and philanthropic events, and keep our members engaged in the community through volunteer work together. As STEM fields are typically male dominated, our goal is to be able to connect women/non-binary folks and give our sisters a support system in their chosen fields.

Our recruitment process is very laid back. Here's a list of our upcoming events:

Monday 2/5- Info Night and Mad-Scientist Day 6-7 PM

Wednesday 2/7 - Double Agent Game Night 7-8 PM 

Friday 2/9 - DEI Event 7-8 PM 

Monday 2/12 - Philanthropy Event 6-7 PM 

Thursday 2/15 - Roller-Coaster Build 7-8 PM 

Friday 2/16 - Invite Only Event 6-8 PM

Students who are interested only need to attend two events to be eligible for our invite-only event, but we always recommend attending as many as they can to get the chance to meet more sisters and potential new members, and get a feel for AΩE!

No RSVP is required for the events.

Room locations will be announced on our Instagram and through email. 

You can also sign up to join our email list to get event reminders and details.

Image Processing Technician w/ The Dawson Lab

Application Due: 3/1/2024

Title: Image Processing Technician - Chestnuts

Location: UW-Madison; Remote

Job Category: Temporary/Seasonal Positions

Salary: $15/hour

Start Date: March 2024 Last Date to Apply: March 1, 2024

Description: The Dawson Lab at the University of Wisconsin seeks two part-time technicians (~20 hours per week) to assist in a chestnut research study. The technicians will work under the instruction of an imagery analyst and tree crop breeder for five months (March-August 2024). This project aims to develop, train, and optimize a deep learning-based model for automatic detection, segmentation, and enumeration of chestnut burrs in multispectral drone imagery.

Additionally, this project aims to train a deep learning-based model for 3D object detection to detect and segment individual chestnut tree canopies from photogrammetry-derived point clouds. The anticipated result is an automated image-processing pipeline that relates chestnut yield to individual chestnut trees using drones and artificial intelligence. This framework will enable chestnut breeders to efficiently and effectively assess individual trees for target breeding objectives. The technician can anticipate assisting with identifying chestnut burrs in drone imagery and creating annotated imagery datasets for training various deep-learning algorithms.

The Dawson Lab is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse work environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, color, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or disability. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds and walks of life to apply.

Qualifications: Required Minimum Qualifications: A positive attitude, strong organizational skills, and attention to detail are essential. Access to a computer with a stable internet connection is required.

Desired Qualifications: Experience using GIS and remote sensing technologies to conduct horticultural studies. Familiarity with online image annotation platforms such as Roboflow. Knowledge of or interest in perennial agriculture, tree crops, and learning deep learning methods for object-based image analysis are a plus.

Apply: The application deadline is March 1st, 2024. Applications may be considered on a rolling basis.

To apply, submit a single PDF via email to Scott Brainard (shbrainard@wisc.edu). Please list "Image Processing Tech – Chestnuts" in the subject line of your email. Incomplete applications may be rejected. In addition to describing your interest in this position, please include:

1. Resume/CV (no more than two pages)

2. Contact information for 2-3 professional references.
