> The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Earth and Space Data
> Computing Division (ESDCD) and the Universities Space
> Research Association are soliciting applications from
> qualified graduate students to participate in an intensive
> lecture series in computational earth and space sciences
> during the three-week period July 10 - 28, 2000. The ESDCD
> provides comprehensive research and development support in
> data handling and computing for NASA Earth and space science
> research programs. **Resident facilities include a
> 1024-processor Cray T3E, a Cray J90 cluster composed of three
> 32-processor Cray J90 systems, and several Beowulf-class
> systems (Beowulf is a class of inexpensive massively-parallel
> systems designed as a cluster of commodity PC's using LINUX).
> **This program stems from ongoing activities that reflect
> NASA's desire to help train the next generation of Earth and
> space scientists in the development of computational
> techniques and algorithms for scalable parallel computers in
> support of the Federal High Performance Computing and
> Communications Program.
>
> Approximately 15 students will be selected to participate in
> the three-week program. Students will be given hands-on
> computer training and small group interaction experience.
> Experienced computational scientists will present a series of
> lectures on advanced topics in computational earth and space
> sciences, with emphasis on computational fluid dynamics and
> particle methods. Vendors will present lectures on
> developing software for their massively parallel
> architectures. **Both the Cray T3E and the Beowulf systems
> will be available for use by the students.** At the end of
> the program, students will be required to present a 15-minute
> summary of what they learned and how it relates to their
> respective fields of study.
>
> The program aims to attract Ph.D. students in the Earth and
> space science disciplines whose present or future research
> requires large-scale numerical modeling on massively parallel
> architectures. Eligibility is normally limited to those Earth
> and space science students who are enrolled in U.S.
> universities and who have passed their Ph.D. qualifying
> exams. Because of NASA GSFC security regulations, citizens
> of certain prescribed nations may be ineligible.
>
> Application materials should include: 1) a cover letter
> explaining your interest in the program and how your research
> will benefit from your participation; 2) your area of
> research and thesis title; 3) a statement of your career
> objectives and goals; 4) a description of your relevant work
> experience; 5) your curriculum vitae or resume with
> publication list; 6) your current G.P.A.; 7) two letters of
> reference; 8) academic transcripts showing two full years of
> work; and 9) a statement of citizenship and visa status.
>
> Students will receive a stipend of $1,440 ($12 per hour) and
> will be reimbursed for domestic transportation to and from
> Greenbelt, Maryland. Students will be housed near the Goddard
> Space Flight Center, and transportation to and from Goddard
> each day will be provided. Applications are due by April 3,
> 200 and selection announcements are planned for April 10,
> 2000. All application information should be directed to:
