[LTER-grad-rep] Fwd: [dataone] Spread the Word: NSF Cyber Carpentry Workshop at UNC Chapel Hill

Tue Mar 6 16:46:10 PST 2018

HI  all -
Can you distribute this announcement about an NSF data carpentry workshop
to your sites?
thanks -
Margaret

*NSF-sponsored workshop to focus on data lifecycle training for grad
students and postdocs*

*Travel and accommodations provided; applications due March 15*

 For today’s graduate and post-doctoral students, conducting research often
starts by trying to make sense of the many tools, technologies, and work
environments used in data-intensive research and computing.

 Fortunately, there is help in navigating this new research landscape.

 The *NSF Cyber Carpentry Workshop: Data Lifecycle Training* is a two-week
summer workshop aimed at helping graduate students understand the many
aspects of the data-intensive computing environment. Even more important,
the workshop will focus on bridging the gap between domain scientists and
computer and information scientists so that data-intensive research is
quicker, less complicated, and more productive.

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the workshop will take place
July 16 – 27, 2018 at RENCI, a University of North Carolina research
institute located at 100 Europa Drive, Chapel Hill, NC
<https://maps.google.com/?q=100+Europa+Drive,+Chapel+Hill,+NC&entry=gmail&source=g>.
Travel and accommodations will be provided for participants, and a
certificate of completion from UNC’s School of Information and Library
Science will be awarded upon successful completion of the workshop.

Workshops topics will be taught by researchers who participated in the
successful DataNet Federation Consortium <http://datafed.org/> (DFC), an
NSF-funded project to develop national data management infrastructure to
support collaborative multidisciplinary research. Drawing from their own
expertise and their experiences with the DFC from 2013 through 2017,
instructors will focus on providing students with an overview of best data
management practices, data science tools, methods for performing end-to-end
data intensive computing, data lifecycle management, and promoting
reproducible science and data reuse.

 The workshop is open to doctoral students and postdocs in basic sciences
and computational sciences. Women, applicants from underrepresented groups,
and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.
Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on March 15 to
receive full consideration.

Cyber Carpentry Training website <http://cybercarpentry.web.unc.edu/>.
