Dear all,
Many thanks for the good discussion today. One important update for all
and a quick summary of the main points for those of you who could not
join today:
-- Since the DOE has not made this award public yet, we cannot announce
it as news, on official webpages, social media etc. I have asked Jeremy
what exactly the constraints are since we are keen to start recruiting
widely. He will get back to me by next week when appropriate DOE people
are back from vacation. Until then let's stay with targeted recruitment
via email to specific students, small groups etc.
-- we should work on recruiting students at each of our universities
keeping in mind our guidelines (US citizen/permanent resident,
interested in taking formal CS courses and training in computational HEP
and participating in an R&D project over a 2-year period...). Students
can officially be funded via this traineeship only starting Oct 15, the
award start date (though funds will likely arrive later as usual). Some
students may start only in the Spring semester.
-- Interested students (including those starting with the traineeship
program in the Spring) can be encouraged to take the course at Princeton
which serves also as training module 0 in our proposal:
https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1232&c…
. Pete is following up on details regarding this but the instructor has
already kindly agreed to take on remote students, so we should go ahead
and plan for it. Classes start Sep 6!
-- we should plan on a curriculum focused meeting in about 2 weeks to
talk about the curriculum for the other training modules. Please do meet
in small groups before that to discuss the specifics of the training
modules that you had signed up for.
Thanks and best regards,
Tulika
Does this work!?
