I apologize for asking here since this probably isn't the best place, but I've seen several people looking for students so I thought I'd give it a shot the other way around.
I graduated with a Master's (in Math) 3 years ago (I used GAP at that time). I have been working for Omniture since then writing mostly C++ and php. I am applying to schools right now, and I would like to do work on Sage (or a component of Sage) as part of my Ph.D. I would also like to study abroad, though that's certainly not necessary. I speak Spanish, a little French, and am trying to learn German (my wife speaks). I have two main questions: 1. What schools are looking for Ph.D. students to work on Sage? I assume U of W, but are any others looking for Sage developers specifically? 2. What (if anything) should I put on my application that might catch the eye of Sage people at those schools? I have tried a few times in the past to contribute something to Sage to bolster my application, but things kept coming up--work, licensing issues, and not least a baby. Would contributing something non-mathematical (e.g. sage.el, a nice Mac App) help at all? How about a letter of recommendation from my employer (as well as from professors)? All thoughts and comments are welcome (including pointing to a page on the wiki that I didn't find or something).
