2011-12 Computing Innovation Fellows Opportunities
Upcoming PhD graduates should note the call from applications for the Computing Innovation Fellows Program,
The goals of the CIFellows Project are to retain new Ph.D. scholars in research and teaching during challenging economic times, while also supporting intellectual renewal and diversity in the computing fields at U.S. organizations. A total of 107 Ph.D.s have been supported through the program since 2009 (see the box at right for more details).
These CIFellows have received outstanding research and teaching enrichment experiences, and several have landed permanent positions (including tenure-track faculty appointments) in academia and industry as a result of their experiences.
CRA/CCC will make awards for the 2011-12 academic year. The exact number of awards is contingent upon the quality of applications received as well as the outcome of a proposal for funding that we have submitted.
Fellowships support “positions at universities, industrial research laboratories, and other organizations that are pursuing innovation in computing and its positive impact on society.”
The deadline is May 31, 2011.
