Applications for the 2019-2020 Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Summer Internship program are now open. We invite students ready to challenge themselves and/or try something new to apply. Students from all fields and disciplines are encouraged to apply.

The goal of the Pawsey Summer Internship program is to enable undergraduate students to develop skills in computational science by providing the opportunity to be immersed in advanced computing research projects.

We will provide access to high-performance computing, visualization facilities, large-scale data storage and high-speed communications along with expert help to make the best use of technology. Researchers at Pawsey Partner institutions are submitting an impressive array of projects for you to work on.

The internship program includes an intensive induction week. During this week, you will learn the basics of supercomputing, data management and scientific visualization and discuss impacts of those on research now and in the future.

You will be supervised by leading researchers and undertake challenging research projects using the resources provided by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. You will also learn from Pawsey Supercomputing Centre staff about good practices of using Pawsey resources, good practices for poster creation/presentation, techniques for business communication, and more.
