ANNOUNCING THE 2013 OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL!

If you could access thousands, maybe millions, of hours of computing, how
would it transform your research? What discoveries would you make?

We are looking for qualified students to attend the 2013 Open Science Grid
(OSG) User School, where they will learn how to use high-throughput
computing to harness vast amounts of computing power for research.

Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG
experts in high-throughput computing, students will learn how HTC systems
work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets to implement a full
scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info.

Worried about costs? Successful applicants will get financial support to
attend the OSG School (June 24-27) at the beautiful University of Wisconsin
in Madison. Plus, some students will receive financial support to attend
XSEDE13 (July 22-25) in San Diego, California.

Ideal candidates are science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) graduate students whose research demands large-scale computing.
Also, advanced undergraduates are encouraged to apply. Others may apply
too; funding is tight this year, but we consider all great candidates!

IMPORTANT DATES

Application Period: March 4-29
OSG User School: June 24-27
XSEDE13 Conference: July 22-25
