DEVELOPER TOOLS

NCSA will award six summer fellowships to faculty interested in contributing to the creation of a national cyberinfrastructure for science and engineering. The fellowships are available to researchers from across the country. Faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are not eligible (apply at the UIUC/NCSA Faculty Fellows Program Web site). The fellowships will provide 10 weeks' salary and will cover local housing expenses and the cost of travel to and from Champaign, Illinois. Areas of interest include: * Cyberenvironments: NCSA is creating cyberenvironments that will simplify the integration of distributed computing and data resources into scientific and engineering research. We look forward to working with faculty who specialize in scientific and engineering applications, graphical user interfaces and portals, workflow and collaboration software, and data analysis and visualization tools. * Cyber-resources: NCSA provides high-end computing resources needed by the scientific and engineering communities. We want to spend the summer with faculty who are researching ways to make these resources better suit the communities they serve and to improve the computing infrastructure that they operate in. * Innovative Systems: Petascale computing is now a realizable goal that will impact all scientific and engineering research, but the best pathway to petascale computing is unclear. Come and explore those possibilities with us. * Cyberenvironments in the Classroom: Few of the advantages of a national cyberinfrastructure will be realized without scientists and engineers who understand the new capabilities that it provides. NCSA is interested in collaborating with faculty to bring cyberenvironments into the classroom. Applications are due Feb. 15.
