[HTCondor-users] Announcing the Open Science Grid User School 2015 !

ANNOUNCING THE *OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL 2015*
<http://www.opensciencegrid.org/UserSchool>!

If you could access thousands or even 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, role-plays, 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. Students 
will be given access to the NSF-funded Open Science Grid of vast HTC 
computing capacity.

Completion of a short application form and letter of recommendation are
required. Successful applicants will get financial support to attend the 
OSG School, covering all basic travel, hotel, and food costs.

Ideal candidates are science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) graduate students whose research demands large-scale computing.
We also consider applications from individuals in other research areas,
as well as post-doctoral students, faculty, staff, and advanced
undergraduates, so make a good case for yourself!
