VisitingScholars2024
Application Deadline March 1, 2024
The CSDMS/OpenEarthscape Visiting Scholar Program is open to graduate students interested in spending up to 6 weeks at the CSDMS Integration Facility at the University of Colorado Boulder. Selected students will be working on their own research and will benefit from mentoring with the CSDMS Research Software Engineers and faculty/staff. Our cohorts in 2022 and 2023 were resounding successes and we hope to make the 2024 program even more beneficial for your research progress. We anticipate 2-3 students will be selected for the 2024 program. In addition to proximity to the CSDMS Research Software Engineers and other team members, the Integration Facility can provide the following support:
Student
Domestic travel and lodging support for up to 45 days in Boulder.
Stipend support is available for US Citizens only and is based on CU GRA rates @100% for summer semester (about $5,300 per month). International students and students in the US on F-1 and J-1 visas are welcome to apply and travel/lodging support will be provided, but stipend support cannot be provided due to visa restrictions.
Advisor
Travel and lodging support for a 7-day trip to Boulder (including per diem and ground transportation) to work collaboratively with CSDMS and the student.
Priority will be given to students that have computational projects that:
- are “shovel ready";
- will result in a product, such as a publication, a conference presentation, a new model component, an educational tutorial, etc.
To apply, please send an email to csdms@colorado.edu by March 1st, 2024 with your name, a brief description of your future goals, a description of the specific project that could benefit from CSDMS Integration Facility support, and any resulting products proposed. Additionally, we'll need approval from your advisor to participate in the program (this can be in the form of an attached letter or email).
We’re excited to work with you and we look forward to chatting about how the CSDMS Integration Facility can most usefully contribute to your research this summer!
