Cloud Computing Fellowship

 

This impressive program allows researchers to gain hands-on experience in cloud computing while exploring new possibilities and opportunities to further their research.

About the Program

The MSU Cloud Computing Fellowship is a cross-disciplinary program produced by MSU’s Institute of Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER) and MSU IT Services for invited MSU doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers. As a part of this program, fellows will participate in a series of workshops during the fall semester to:

Cloud Computing Fellows 2023

  • Determine the aspects of your research that can be accomplished with cloud computing;

  • Incorporate cloud-based systems into your research application or workflow; and

  • Understand the strengths and limitations of commercial cloud computing with the goal of improving research yield and minimizing cost, and to develop a workflow that utilizes that knowledge.

Application Process

Applications for the upcoming academic year typically open during the middle of summer and close during the end of the summer. 

Applications will be judged by:

  • The likelihood of the applicant’s current and future research benefiting in a meaningful way from cloud computing (see this document for some guidance); 

  • The research application’s contribution to a broad and diverse range of topical areas and cloud usage modalities; and 

  • The applicant’s likelihood to succeed in the program based on previous experiences and availability to participate in fellowship activities. 

Check back on August 1st to apply for the upcoming academic year!
