If you could access thousands, maybe millions of hours of computing, how would it transform your research? What discoveries might you make? We are looking for students to apply for and attend the Open Science Grid (OSG) User School 2015, where they will learn to use high throughput computing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research. The School takes place 27-31 July at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison. Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG experts in HTC, 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, covering all basic travel, hotel, and food costs. This is a great deal! Ideal candidates are science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate students whose research demands large-scale computing. Also, we will consider applications from post-doctoral students, faculty, staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a good case for yourself!
