In addition to conducting research, undergraduates bring enthusiasm and new perspectives to our lab. We’re glad to be working with the following students:
Former undergraduate members of our lab include:
The Network Dynamics Lab is run by Professor Derek Ruths and is part of the McGill University School of Computer Science. We consist of one professor, a band of graduate students, and a cohort of undergrads - but more importantly we're curious people who enjoy writing code, playing with UNIX, studying genomes, and seeing what Twitter has to say about the human condition. In our research we seek to develop new ways of measuring and modeling large-scale behavior in complex systems, including online social platforms, human communities, political parties, ancient civilizations, and single-celled organisms.

We're always looking for enthusiastic, talented undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs.
Our work requires proficiency in UNIX, programming (python is preferred!), and data analysis. Most importantly, though, we want self-motivated, critical thinkers who would jump at the chance to spend the odd weekend trudging through gigabytes of data to find the answer they're in search of.
If this sounds like you, send Professor Ruths an email. In addition to the usual details, describe a really hard problem you solved and how you did it. Extra points if it involves social informatics.
