We are hiring undergraduate research assistants for some NSF funded summer
projects. Could you please advise me how to post the job ad (pasted below)
on the UROP website?

SOCIAL GAMING


Are you on Farmville? Have you received a virtual gift from a friend and
sent something back in return? Social games have engaged millions of users
and established successful revenue models.


In the Cognitive Computing Lab at CoC, we are developing social learning
games which help students to learn while having fun and socializing with
their peers. We analyze logs from a social learning network in order to
develop cognitive guidelines and design principles for effective social
learning. For more info on our Lab, see: www.cc.gatech.edu/ccl


We are hiring undergraduate research assistants for NSF-funded summer
research projects. The candidates should have programming skills (preferably
in Java), as well as strong analytical and communication skills.


To apply: Email your resume and a cover letter explaining why you are
interested and how you can contribute. Email to: Prof. Ashwin Ram,
