[Ieee_vis] Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)

[Judith E Terrill]

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST - 
https://www.nist.gov) is a US Federal physical science laboratory 
supporting US industrial competitiveness through fundamental metrology 
in many diverse areas including physical measurement, material 
measurement, and metrology for engineering, manufacturing, and 
information technology.

The High Performance Computing and Visualization Group (HPCVG) at NIST 
develops novel algorithms and implementations for parallel and 
distributed computation and also creates innovative techniques for 
immersive scientific visualization in a variety of local and distributed 
hardware environments. We are specifically looking for postdoctoral and 
student researchers interested in areas such as Immersive and In-situ 
Visualization, Parallel Computing, and Analytics (including Machine 
Learning).

A Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) was recently announced for a new 
program called "Professional Research Experience Program" (PREP) which 
is designed to reduce the administrative overhead involved in funding 
postdoctoral and student and other researchers at universities that 
participate in the program.

Applications are due soon - no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, 
Friday, August 4, 2017. This program will be a university-level 
agreement, and as such, should be coordinated by the university and not 
within a single department. More information is available at:

and

The NIST contact is Dr. Brandi Toliver (brandi.toliver at nist.gov, 301 975 
2371). She will be in charge of running the PREP program here at NIST.
