The Molecular Sciences Software Institute
1–8 of 8
The Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI) was launched August 1st, 2016, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The MolSSI is designed to serve as a nexus for science, education, and cooperation for the worldwide community of computational molecular scientists -- a broad field encompassing biomolecular simulation, quantum chemistry, and materials science.
The MolSSI will engage a team of Software Scientists (molecular scientists, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians with software engineering expertise) as well as a large cohort of Software Fellows (graduate students and postdocs in research groups across the U.S.) to develop open-source modules, frameworks, and other software infrastructure for use throughout the spectrum of community molecular science codes. To complement these efforts, the MolSSI will also enable the formation of the Molecular Sciences Consortium, which will include representatives from the discipline to work together to establish community-wide standards for data, software, best practices, and more. Finally, to enhance education and community engagement, the Institute will sponsor a range of workshops, summer schools, an online Ph.D. certificate in software best practices, and a Professional Master's Degree in Molecular Science and Software Engineering.
In the coming months, the MolSSI will announce calls for proposals for community-driven workshops and Software Fellowships, as well as a launch event at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco in April 2017. In addition, MolSSI is in the process of hiring multiple Software Scientists. More information can be found at the Institute's website: molssi.org.
Sincerely,
The MolSSI Board of Directors:
T. Daniel Crawford, Virginia Tech
Cecilia Clementi, Rice University
Robert Harrison, Stony Brook University
Teresa Head-Gordon, U.C. Berkeley
Shantenu Jha, Rutgers University
Anna Krylov, U. Southern California
Vijay Pande, Stanford University
Theresa Windus, Iowa State University
