Greetings,
Our apologies for accidentally sending a similar email to this list earlier today (from Lauren Michael).
We intended to provide a reminder to those interested that the deadline for applying to the 2015 Open Science Grid User School is this Friday, May 1. Completion of a short online form and a single letter of recommendation are all that is required to apply. Please distribute the below announcement email to anyone you believe would be interested in this opportunity to learn large-scale, distribute high-throughput computing on the NSF-funded Open Science Grid.
Thank you!

----- BEGIN EMAIL TO DISTRIBUTE -----ANNOUNCINGÂTHEÂOPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL 2015!If you could access thousands or even millions of hours of computing, howÂwould it transform your research? What discoveries might you make?We are looking for students to apply for and attend the Open Science GridÂ(OSG) User School 2015, where they will learn to use high throughputÂcomputing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research.ÂThe School takes placeÂ27-31 JulyÂat the beautiful University of WisconsinÂin Madison.Using lectures, discussions, role-plays, and lots of hands-on work with OSGÂexperts in HTC, students will learn how HTC systems work, how to run andÂmanage many jobs and huge datasets to implement a full scientific computingÂworkflow, 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 toÂattend the OSG School, covering all basic travel, hotel, and food costs.Ideal candidates are science, technology, engineering, and mathematicsÂ(STEM) graduate students whose research demands large-scale computing.ÂWe also consider applications from individuals in other research areas, as well as post-doctoral students, faculty,Âstaff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a good case for yourself!IMPORTANT DATESÂApplication Period: NOWÂ- 1 May 2015ÂOSG User School: 27-31 July 2015MORE INFORMATIONÂWebpage and application:Âhttp://www.opensciencegrid.org/UserSchoolÂEmail:Âuser-school@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxÂFacebook:Âhttps://www.facebook.com/OSGUserSchoolÂTwitter:Âhttps://twitter.com/OSGUserSchoolPlease forward thisÂannouncementÂto help us reach potential students. AndÂconsider posting our flyer where appropriate:https://twiki.opensciencegrid.org/twiki/pub/Education/OSGUserSchool2015/osg-user-school-2015-flyer.pdf Lauren Michael - Research Computing Facilitator,ÂUniversity of Wisconsin - Madison
