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
