** Please circulate this announcement to any undergraduates **
** that might be interested in the program **
We are pleased to announce that applications for the IRIS-HEP
undergraduate Fellows program in Summer 2023 are now open. The
deadline for applications is Sunday, 16 April, 2023 (end of the
day, any time zone).
People are the key to successful software. IRIS-HEP aims to promote
the development of advanced research software skills by providing
opportunities for undergraduate students to connect with mentors
within the larger High Energy Physics (HEP) and Computational/Data
Science community. At the same time, we aim to promote software as
a collaborative activity and encourage collaborations which engage
individuals in ways that maximize their potential and their potential
impact on the community.
To accomplish these goals, IRIS-HEP has created a Fellows program.
IRIS-HEP Fellows will spend some number of months working with a
mentor to build their skills while working on a research software
project relevant to the Institute.
Who should apply to the Fellows program? – Are you reasonably
comfortable with basic programming through skills acquired (for
example) from coursework or dedicated training activities? Are you
interested in building on those skills to gain experience through
contributions to cutting edge open source research software projects?
Then the IRIS-HEP Fellows program could be for you. Prior physics
knowledge is helpful, but not required. We will also offer dedicated
training activities to help you improve specific software skills.
Applications from women and members of underrepresented groups in
STEM activities are particularly encouraged.
Fellows will receive a training stipend as part of their participation.
