Graduate Student Assistantships
Application closing date is April 15, 2010. Decisions about assistantships will be made mid May.
The LONI Institute, an initiative funded by the Louisiana Board of Regents and six member institutions (Louisiana State University, Louisiana Tech University, Tulane University, Southern University, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and University of New Orleans) invites applications for LONI Institute Graduate Student Research Assistants. Assistantships are available at all member institutions. Research can be in any area of science, engineering, social sciences, or arts and humanities, although the fellow awards are intended to support graduate students whose research projects require access to high-end computing facilities, networks, distributed data archives, and more generally cyberinfrastructure. The one-year fellowship awards will include a $20,000 stipend and tuition waiver.
The LI Graduate Student Fellows will work on projects that will be selected on the basis of:
→ Excellence in research in the disciplines
→ Potential to utilize and advance the infrastructure under development across LONI
→ Promise for external funding in the future
→ Potential to meet the metrics for success of the LI
