Great sabbatical opportunity for working people to intern in
cyberinfrastructure. Happy to tell you more about the local Urbana/
Champaign, IL area (though I'm not involved with the internship program).

> The goal of this internship is to address the shortage in today’s
workforce of individuals with the specialized
> skills needed to support advanced cyberinfrastructure operations.
Managing modern cyberinfrastructure that supports
> scientific research is a challenging task which requires deep and broad
knowledge and experience to plan, acquire,
> deploy, and operate complex high-performance computing (HPC). This
project will help prepare the next generation of
> system engineers and administrators by educating them about computer
architecture, storage technology, interconnect,
> operating systems, cluster software stack, user management, job
management, resources monitoring, networking, and
> security. Selected interns will get a chance to focus a majority of their
time with one of the following NCSA groups:
> HPC Systems, Storage Enabling Technologies, Advanced Visualization Lab
(AVL), Innovative TEchnology Services (ITS),
> Data Analysis and Visualization (DAV), Innovative Software and Data
Analysis (ISDA), Science and Engineering
> Application Support (SEAS), Incident Response and Security Operations
(IRSO), or Network Engineering (NERD).
>
> Interns must provide their own housing but will be paid as academic
hourly. For more information about the program
> and to apply, please follow visit the program’s webpage. Additional
questions may be sent to Dan LaPine at
