HAAG's premier leadership program, where PhDs and postdocs practice advising skills in a live research environment — training participants in the MENTOR-CS framework proposed by Shi et al.
HAAG is a virtual research initiative that bridges the gap between computational expertise and research needs — connecting online CS master's students, adult learners with professional experience new to research, and big data-collecting labs that need computational talent. The goal: develop and publish research tools through 3-semester collaborative projects.
Non-computational labs can struggle to advise computational projects, lacking the technical expertise to guide students in analyzing their data.
Computer science professors, already managing full teaching and research loads, cannot commit time to short-term advising opportunities.
CLEAR trains PhDs and postdocs to fill the advising gap — gaining leadership experience while solving a real capacity problem.
~5 hours/week participating in structured reviews for ongoing student projects.
Mirrors that of a conference or journal reviewer — guiding students toward higher-quality submissions.
Be credited as co-author on the resulting publication.
You'll be matched with an interdisciplinary project led by faculty affiliates who share their research goals.
Receive training in research project management and develop your own objectives for the project.
Meet with students bi-weekly and faculty affiliates monthly to ensure progress toward research goals.
Two weeks before submission, provide additional feedback rounds and virtual meetings as needed.
Leadership reviews authorship order based on: contribution of ideas that remain in the final work, and execution of work included in the final submission. The proposed order is shared with all contributors, with an opportunity to appeal if needed.
The admin team reaches out if there are concerns about review quality. HAAG also hosts workshops and shares best practices based on insights gathered across projects.
