SUMMARY:

CyberGIS Fellows Program
Up to $8000 support summer 2014 (travel, summer salary) Proposals due May 30 2014 http://cybergis.illinois.edu/news/140501_fellows.html

DETAILS:

CyberGIS -- geographic information science and systems (GIS) based on advanced cyberinfrastructure -- has emerged during the past several years as a vibrant interdisciplinary field impacting a broad swath of scientific domains and research areas.

The NSF CyberGIS Project (www.cybergis.org) has contributed significantly to the development of this field.

Due to the rapid development, most of the related curricula and education materials do not systematically 1) teach concepts and principles underlying cyberGIS; and 2) cover problem solving skills revolving around cyberGIS.

To fill this gap, the CyberGIS Fellows Program established by the NSF CyberGIS Project aims to catalyze the development of cutting edge cyberGIS education materials and curricula.

The Fellows will hold visiting appointments within the CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies and National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and have opportunities to develop collaborations with these two interdisciplinary programs.

The CyberGIS Fellows are expected to play important roles in charting the future of cyberGIS education.

This program is designed to be a competitive one that provides seed funding for developing education materials in core cyberGIS competency areas.

Competitive fellowship proposals will involve individual faculty or educators from higher education institutions in the US with clear outcomes that advance the state of the art of cyberGIS education.

For complete details about the CyberGIS Fellows program, including eligibility and how to apply, go to

Applications are due by May 30, 2014, and awardees will be notified by June 14, 2014.

Please help us spread the word that we are now taking applications.

Thanks & best,
Shaowen
