Guest Student Programme 2013
During summer 2013, JSC will once again be offering a guest student programme. It will be supported by the Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire (CECAM), the German Research School for Simulation Sciences (GRS) and IBM. Within this programme, students with a major in natural sciences, engineering, computer science or mathematics will have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with different aspects of scientific computing. Together with local scientists, the participants will work on different current topics in research and development. Depending on their previous knowledge and on the participant's interest, the assignments can be taken from different areas. These fields include mathematics, physics, chemistry, software development tools, visualization, distributed computing, operating systems and communication. Special emphasis is placed on the use of supercomputers. The participants are expected to have knowledge of and experience in the computer-oriented branches of their subjects. The students should already have completed their first degree but have not yet finished their master's course. Additionally, a letter of recommendation from a university lecturer or professor is required for application.
The programme will last ten weeks and will take place from 5 August to 11 October 2013. Students are encouraged to apply for the programme via email or in writing (English or German). The closing date for applications is 30 April 2013. Further information at http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/jsc/gsp/.
