Student Success

Fellowship and internship programs give IU students and faculty hands-on experience with advanced cyberinfrastructure and opportunities to work with the people who build and support it.

Overview

As research at IU evolves, UITS supports university-wide initiatives that lower barriers to adopting advanced cyberinfrastructure.

These efforts include opportunities to engage directly with advanced technologies through teaching, research, and experiential learning. The Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) Fellowship Program helps faculty and students integrate cyberinfrastructure into their teaching and research, while the Student Intern Program gives students hands-on experience contributing to tools and services that support research at IU.

Advanced cyberinfrastructure includes high-performance computing, big data, cloud computing, networking, advanced visualization, and the expertise needed to use these technologies effectively. It supports scientific discovery, research data management, geospatial analysis, and innovation across disciplines.

Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) Program

The Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Fellowship Program provides faculty and students with consulting, guidance, and networking opportunities to build skills in advanced cyberinfrastructure. Fellows learn to integrate these technologies into teaching and research while connecting with ACI specialists and community members.
