Applications are now being accepted for the Center for Computational Science’s (CCS) 2013-2014 Fellows Program, an initiative that inspires a new generation of leaders in computational science by giving students the opportunity to work in a cross-disciplinary research setting. The prestigious fellowships are awarded to two undergraduate and two graduate students per year.

Fellows will have the opportunity to use CCS’s high performance computing facilities for their research and to work closely with CCS faculty and staff. They must conduct a research project for the duration of the fellowship under the guidance of a mentor who must not be the student’s direct academic advisor or principal investigator. Fellows may enroll in appropriate courses for research credits and may approach CCS faculty and staff for access to software or high performance computing facilities as needed. They will be asked to present their work at a publicized CCS event in the spring.

The fellowship carries no stipend, but fellows will be offered a small prize at the end as a token of appreciation.

Applications are open to all second-year graduate students and undergraduate students at sophomore level or above from any UM department. Applicants must have no less than a 3.2 GPA and have an interest in computational science. Previous research experience is an advantage. The deadline for submitting an application is the end of business on Friday October 11.
