Call for Volunteers

SIGDA supports various events such as – the University Research Demonstration (URD) that helps to foster interactions between students and industry; Design Automation Summer School (DASS) that exposes students to trending topics; Young Faculty and EDA Education Workshops (YFEEW); Ph.D. and Student Research Forums in conjunction with major conferences (DAC, DATE, and ASP-DAC), design contests such as CAD Athlon. SIGDA also administrates Student Research Competition (SRC) on behalf of ACM at ICCAD. Very recently, SIGDA has launched new programs such as SIGDA Live, a series of monthly webinars on topics of general interest to the SIGDA community and a more global E-Newsletter with a newly formed editorial board.
A normal organization committee of SIGDA-sponsored/associated events and programs includes three members, of which one member is rotated every year. SIGDA now invites applications for the volunteers of the following events and programs: URD, DASS, YFEEW, Ph.D. and Student Research Forums at DAC and ASP-DAC, CADatholon, and SRC. Please include your primary and secondary interests of the events/programs and a short bio in your application package and send it to yshi4@nd.edu. Applications received after the deadline will also be considered if the position is not yet filled.
