We are pleased to announce that applications for the IRIS-HEP
undergraduate Fellows program in Summer 2024 are now open. Selected
IRIS-HEP Fellows will spend several 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.

This year’s program is open to students associated to US universities,
students of Ukrainian origin and students from Vilnius University.

Applications submitted before Monday, 11 March, 2024 (end of the day, any
time zone) will prioritized for consideration. The application form will
however remain open and applications can nonetheless be submitted
through March 25th, 2024.

The Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) will host a ten week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program where students work collaboratively on a wide variety of computational science projects. Each student receives a stipend of $7,000, free housing in university dormitories, and up to $600 in travel expenses to and from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ten students will be selected.

Qualifications:
Undergraduate, community college student, or high school senior attending college in the fall, interested in a major that is within the computational sciences umbrella (leaves out few majors as it includes all sciences, mathematics, engineering, finance, statistics, etc.) with at least a 2.75 GPA, considering a career in research and/or graduate school in your major, being a US citizen or permanent resident, and graduating at least one semester after completion of the REU.

Important Dates:
March 1, 2024: Application deadline.
April 1, 2024: Notification of decision.
May 27, 2024 through August 3, 2024: Program dates.

The research activities of the CCT are organized into five Focus Areas: Core Computing Sciences, Coast to Cosmos, Material World, Cultural Computing, and System Science and Engineering. These are broad, and sometimes overlapping areas where faculty from diverse departments (Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Civil Engineering, Oceanography & Coastal Sciences, Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Computing Engineering, Music, Business, etc.) collaborate in multidisciplinary projects. Our REU students learn how to use some of the nation’s largest supercomputers, may participate in the setup and management of large-scale simulations, and may take on an important role in the analysis and visualization of the simulation results.

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.

Updated: DOE’s Office of Science Is Now Accepting Applications for Fall 2023 Undergraduate Internships and Visiting Faculty Program

US Department of Energy Office of Science sent this bulletin at 03/17/2023 04:25 PM EDT

View as a webpage / Share DOE’s Office of Science Is Now Accepting Applications for Fall 2023 Undergraduate Intern and Visiting Faculty Placements Students and Faculty Will Conduct Research and Technical Projects at National Laboratories Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall 2023 term of three programs offered by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC): the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program (https://science.osti.gov/wdts/suli), the Community College Internships (CCI) program (https://science.osti.gov/wdts/cci), and the Visiting Faculty Program (VFP; https://science.osti.gov/wdts/vfp). The application deadline is May 25, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. EST. A total of three informational workshops will be held for SULI and CCI. One application workshop will be held for each program and will provide an overview of the program’s unique requirements and application process. The third and final workshop will highlight SULI and CCI opportunities at the DOE National Labs and feature breakout rooms with lab representatives. CCI application workshop: March 29, 2023 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm EDT (register here) SULI application workshop: April 12, 2023 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm EDT (register here) SULI and CCI opportunities workshop:  April 24, 2023 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm EDT (register here) One informational workshop will be held for VFP. The first part of the workshop will introduce the program and application process; the second part of the workshop will feature a panel of VFP alumni. VFP workshop: April 26, 2023 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm EDT (register here) Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from intern to employment. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists and engineers, assisting them on research or technology projects that support the DOE mission. SULI is open to full-time students attending 4-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree, while CCI is exclusively for community college students. Both programs are stipend-based and offered three times annually in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. VFP seeks to increase the research competitiveness of faculty members and their students at institutions historically underrepresented in STEM to expand the workforce vital to DOE mission areas. As such, VFP especially attracts faculty members from MSIs, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Typically, about 50% of the participants are from MSIs, one-third of which are HBCUs. Selected college and university faculty members collaborate with DOE laboratory scientific research staff on research projects of mutual interest. SULI, CCI, and VFP are managed by WDTS in the DOE Office of Science. More information can be found at https://science.osti.gov/wdts.
