The CERN openlab student programme 2006

The CERN openlab student programme 2006 is open for candidates working towards a B.Sc., M.Sc. Or Ph.D. in Computer Science or Physics, with a strong interest in Grid computing. The programme in 2006 includes student assignments for the LHC Computing Grid project (LCG), the Enabling Grids for E-Science project (EGEE) and the CERN openlab industrial partnership.

Candidates should submit a CV and a letter of support from a supervisor to me by March 31st. The selection committee includes experts from LCG, EGEE and CERN openlab. Successful candidates will receive confirmation by April 18th.

The programme covers two months of project work at CERN, including participation in study tours to leading IT companies and organisations and dedicated Grid-related lectures by CERN experts. As in previous years, the funding of 5000CHF for two months, including travel, is shared between CERN and the student's host institution.

For more information, and examples of projects carried out by students previously, see www.cern.ch/openlab.
