Rensselaer Summer Program -- Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Training for Modeling Physical Systems

Welcome to the web application form for the Cyberinfrastructure Training program at Rensselaer, funded by the National Science Foundation. The summer school and boot camp will most likely be held remotely. The summer school will run from June 14 to July 7, 2023; the boot camp will take place June 14-16, and the rest of the program from June 16 through July 7.

We will consider all applicants, but students who come from colleges and physics programs where adoption of cyberinfrastructure, computational methods and data-intensive computing is only at a modest level are strongly encouraged to apply. We also strongly encourage applications from women and underrepresented minorities. For full consideration, students are encouraged to submit all of their materials by May 31, 2023, although applications will be accepted until available positions are filled.

If you are unable to submit this form on-line, you may include the information, along with your personal statement and transcript, in the body of an e-mail message and send it to Professor Joel Giedt, Program Chair.
