*NSF-sponsored workshop to focus on data lifecycle training for grad 
students and postdocs*

/Travel and accommodations provided; applications due March 15/

For today’s graduate and post-doctoral students, conducting research 
often starts by trying to make sense of the many tools, technologies, 
and work environments used in data-intensive research and computing.

Fortunately, there is help in navigating this new research landscape.

The /NSF Cyber Carpentry Workshop: Data Lifecycle Training/is a two-week 
summer workshop aimed at helping graduate students understand the many 
aspects of the data-intensive computing environment. Even more 
important, the workshop will focus on bridging the gap between domain 
scientists and computer and information scientists so that 
data-intensive research is quicker, less complicated, and more productive.

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the workshop will take 
place July 16 – 27, 2018 at RENCI, a University of North Carolina 
research institute located at 100 Europa Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 
<https://maps.google.com/?q=100+Europa+Drive,+Chapel+Hill,+NC&entry=gmail&source=g>. 
Travel and accommodations will be provided for participants, and a 
certificate of completion from UNC’s School of Information and Library 
Science will be awarded upon successful completion of the workshop.

Workshops topics will be taught by researchers who participated in the 
successful DataNet Federation Consortium <http://datafed.org/>(DFC), an 
NSF-funded project to develop national data management infrastructure to 
support collaborative multidisciplinary research. Drawing from their own 
expertise and their experiences with the DFC from 2013 through 2017, 
instructors will focus on providing students with an overview of best 
data management practices, data science tools, methods for performing 
end-to-end data intensive computing, data lifecycle management, and 
promoting reproducible science and data reuse.

The workshop is open to doctoral students and postdocs in basic sciences 
and computational sciences. Women, applicants from underrepresented 
groups, and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged to 
apply. Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on March 15 
to receive full consideration.

For more information and a link to the application form, please see the 
UNC Cyber Carpentry Training website <http://cybercarpentry.web.unc.edu/>.
