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.
The School of Computing at the University of Wyoming is inviting faculty members to submit proposals for the Faculty Grants Program (currently not accepting applications). 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.
The School of Computing (SoC) mission is to position our land grant institution as: a national leader in computing and digital research, education, and engagement; a computational hub for students, faculty, staff, community, and our industry/state/academic partners; a steward, supporter, and developer of digital skills and computational thinking for all. Ensuring the quality, vitality, and diversity of the computing workforce in Wyoming starts with supporting outstanding graduate students who are demonstrating potential early in their computational careers.
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.
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 already has a wealth of resources that support research computing and data science in different ways. The mission for the School of Computing includes a role to be a computational hub for faculty, staff, and our industry, state, academic, and community partners. A new UW Research Computing network is working to collect information about the different services, infrastructure, and expertise for computing and data science that will soon be available. In the meantime, on this page, we list some of the UW units that are involved in computing support, research, and development.
