JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is in search of a part-time undergraduate researcher. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors streamflow in rivers across the US with different techniques. A new technique being tested records videos of the stream surface and analyzes them with computer vision techniques to quantify flow velocity and discharge. This project is developing Machine-Learning based methods to help improve the methodology and make it faster. Help is needed to preprocess the videos and images. The main task is to manually label the images following simple instructions.

The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusion that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity in society and nature, and engage all individuals to help them thrive. We value inclusion as a core strength and an essential element of our public service mission.

CAMPUS SECURITY CRIME STATISTICS:

Pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Pennsylvania Act of 1988, Penn State publishes a combined Annual Security and Annual Fire Safety Report (ASR). The ASR includes crime statistics and institutional policies concerning campus security, such as those concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. The ASR is available for review here.

Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.

What applying to Penn State University usually looks like

Based on publicly available information, candidates applying through Workday for Penn State University positions can typically expect an online application requiring a profile, resume upload, and completion of standardized questionnaires, which may include voluntary self-identification and eligibility screening sections. After submission, applicants can generally expect an automated confirmation, followed by potential recruiter or hiring manager review. The process may include multiple stages such as phone screenings, panel interviews, or skills assessments depending on the role, particularly for specialized positions like engineering, healthcare, or academic roles. Response times vary and may depend on internal review cycles or budget approvals common to large institutions. Candidates should ensure their application materials are complete and consistent, as Workday systems commonly track application status through a candidate portal, and communication is typically delivered via email or system notifications rather than phone calls.
