WINS: SC24 Call for Participation, Deadline 1/26/2024

[Dopheide, Jeannette M]

Hello Trusted CI community, 

Passing this along to anyone who may be interested. 

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce that the Women in IT Networking at SC (WINS) program is now accepting applications for the 2024 program. Since 2015, the WINS program has provided an immersive “hands-on” mentorship opportunity for early- to mid-career women in the IT field who are selected to participate in the ground-up construction of SCinet, one of the fastest and most advanced computer networks in the world, built annually for the Supercomputing Conference (SC) to be held in Atlanta, Georgia in November, 2024.

The program collaborates with SCinet committee leadership to match each awardee with a SCinet team and a mentor; offers travel funding for awardees; and provides ongoing support and career development opportunities for the awardees before, during, and after the conference.

Interested and qualified women are encouraged to apply. WINS strives to have diverse representation of organizations and applicant backgrounds in the cohort each year. In order to further broaden the diversity within the WINS program itself, preference this year will be given to applicants who are historically underrepresented in the Information Technology field, including Black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latinx.
A PDF version of the Call for Participation is attached. We encourage you to distribute this information to your networks and contacts. The application deadline is January 26, 2024 at 11:59 PM AoE. You can access the application here.

WINS is a joint effort between the Department of Energy’s, Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), Indiana University, American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and works collaboratively with the SC program committee. Funding is provided through direct funding from ESnet and support from other project contributors. Information on all contributors can be found here. Past funding was provided by the National Science Foundation grants (Award Numbers 1640987, 144064, and 2331094)

   

Sincerely,

The WINS Team
