Faculty and Research Opportunities with the School of Computing
Faculty Fellows
The School of Computing at the University of Wyoming is inviting faculty members to submit proposals for the Faculty Grants Program. The program aims to support projects that advance computing research, learning, and engagement across the university, with a focus on aligning with university initiatives, fostering applied computing, impacting student experiences, involving the School of Computing, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Data Science Center Fellows
The Data Science Center will support two Faculty Fellows each academic year in pursuit of excellence in research, teaching, and engagement in data science at the University of Wyoming.
UW Derecho Professors
The UW Derecho Professor designation provides named professors in any academic field with up to 5 million core hours of access to both traditional compute nodes and accelerators on the Derecho supercomputer at the NCAR Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC). Leveraging and enhancing the UW-NCAR partnership, the initiative contributes to recruiting and retaining UW faculty whose research program in computing will be strengthened through a flexible and guaranteed allocation on this resource.
Visting Scholars
The School of Computing is pleased to offer grants to support short-term visiting scholars. The grants, up to $10,000 per visitor, may support visiting faculty, post-docs, or advanced graduate students (in the final 2 years of studies). The funds may be used to cover travel, lodging, and meal costs as well as a stipend for the visiting scholar.
The University of Wyoming has earned its Research Level 1 (R1) status from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, placing Wyoming's only four-year university with the top research universities in the United States.
