Just a reminder: http://www2.krellinst.org/ssgf/
(yes, "Krell" from the movie. The guy who started this likes the movie).
"The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration
Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship (SSGF) Program provides
outstanding benefits and opportunities to students pursuing a Ph.D. in
areas of interest to stewardship science, such as high-energy density
physics, low-energy nuclear science, or properties of materials under
extreme conditions. Fellows also participate in research at a DOE
laboratory. "
" The fellowship start date is September 1, 2010. It is renewable
for up to 4 total years."
* All tuition and required fees will be paid during the appointment period.
* A yearly stipend of $32,400.
* A $1,000 allowance is paid annually to the fellow to be used for
duplication expenses, conferences, copies of conference proceedings,
travel, or other expenses incurred while doing research or activities
directly related to the professional development of the fellow.
It's a great deal if you are interested in the areas, note that it can
be a pure computer science style research deal. One thing that might
work: you could work on scaling a new type of simulation on a 40,000
CPU supercomputer, using Plan 9, and if you have an adviser who agrees
with that you might get support from this program.
Also, don't know if this is still part of it, but in the early years
they'd give you about 5K to get a laptop to support your work.
