The Blue Waters Student Internship Program (BWSIP) is actively seeking faculty to engage their undergraduate students in year-long internship opportunities.

This program provides support for internship activities at any accredited degree granting institution in the United States. Faculty who would like to mentor an undergraduate student should post descriptions of available positions. Positions can be intended for a particular applicant or opened to all qualified applicants. Students must submit an application for consideration.

Participation is strongly encouraged for faculty and students who belong to groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences; including, but not limited to, women, minorities, and/or persons with disabilities.

Faculty can create internship positions at the link below. Faculty submissions and intern applications are due February 1, 2017.

Students in the program will gain experiences involving the application of high-performance computing to problems in science, mathematics or engineering. The program provides a student stipend for undergraduate participants totaling $5000, a two-week intensive Petascale Institute in 2017, access to the Blue Waters supercomputer, and, for a select number of interns who have excelled during the year, travel to the Blue Waters Symposium 2018.

Note: BWSIP is focused on promoting students of exceptional promise who may not have prior experience with parallel applications to become expert so that they can work extensively with those applications.

Note: Faculty are strongly encouraged to recruit students to apply for the positions they are posting.

Note: Beginning graduate students who have a research advisor are eligible to apply to attend the Petascale Institute and will have their expenses covered by the program; any stipend would be the responsibility of their own research advisor.

In collaboration with Blue Waters, Shodor and the National Computational Science Institute will provide support and content for the internship program and Petascale Institute. Shodor, a national resource for computational science education, is located in Durham, NC, and serves students and educators nationwide.
