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). Forwarded message: > > "NCSA": http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/ is announcing an internship program aimed to help develop the nation’s > cyberinfrastructure workforce. The "NCSA Internship Program for Cyberinfrastructure > Professionals": http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/enabling/cybersecurity/cip, sponsored by the National Science Foundation > (NSF) will be offered during the Spring 2018 semester and is open to anyone who has completed at least 60 hours of > accredited course work. This internship is unique in that it is not limited solely to current students. The deadline > to apply is October 31, 2017. Though the number of available positions per semester is limited, the program does have > a three year duration and those interested may apply again for additional sessions. > > 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 > [log in to unmask] >
