Graduate Research Traineeships in "Integrating High Performance Computing into Research on the Physics of Complex Materials"

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校（UIUC）物理系提出了“将高性能计算整合到复杂材料物理研究中”（以下简称ICPCM）的研究生研究实习（GRT）计划。该计划将培养五名物理学博士研究生，并为他们在工业、研究实验室和大学教学方面的职业生涯做好准备。ICPCM所代表的领域——高级计算、材料科学和复杂系统——都是科学、工程和技术的关键和新兴领域。此外，ICPCM是培养学生的自然领域，因为掌握该领域所需的技能组合为以后的各种职业生涯提供了极好的准备。UIUC为这样一个ICPCM项目提供了一个理想的环境，因为它结合了国际公认的研究优势，在整个材料范围内，在计算和计算物理方面同样杰出的优势。随后的提案详细说明了提案的科学重点，描述了物理系提供额外课程、补充培训、新工作站和实验室空间的承诺，并概述了暑期学校和其他活动的计划，包括为历史上少数民族机构的学生和教师提供高级培训，以促进有才华的少数民族学生向研究生课程的过渡。

The Department of Physics of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) proposes a Graduate Research Traineeship (GRT) Program in "Integrating High Performance Computing into Research on the Physics of Complex Materials" (henceforth ICPCM). The program will train five graduate students to the Ph.D. level in physics and will prepare them for careers in industry, research laboratories, and teaching in colleges and universities. The fields represented in ICPCM -advanced computation, materials science, and complex systems - are all critical and emerging areas of science, engineering, and technology. Further, ICPCM is a natural area in which to train students, for the combination of skills required to master this area provides excellent preparation for a variety of later careers. The UIUC provides an ideal environment for such a ICPCM program, for it combines internationally recognized research strengths across the whole range of materials with equally distinguished strengths in computation and computational physics. The ensuing proposal details the scientific focus of the proposal, describes the commitment of the Physics Department to provide additional courses, supplemental training, and new workstation and laboratory space, and outlines plans for summer school and other activities, including providing advanced training for students and faculty at historically minority institutions to facilitate the transition to graduate programs for talented minority students.
