Student Internships
Document Actions
The
Advanced
Computing Environments Lab (ACEL) at SDSU continuously seeks qualified
graduate
and undergraduates students interested in supporting its research,
development,
and support activities involving cyberinfrastructure, distributed and
grid computing, CI-enabled portal techniques and technologies.
In addition, we collaborate with scientists involved in ocean modeling and bioinformatics.
These activities include the development and deployment of software technologies that integrate computing, visualization, and data resources to enhance the research capabilities of the SDSU and national academic research community, the NSF Grid community, and the Department of Energy. Particular emphasis for this position will be on grid portals, information services, and grid visualization technologies.
Typically, our students work on NSF and DOE research projects, SDSU collaborative research projects, as well as participate in ACE Lab activities in the following ways:- work
with SDSU and national scientific researchers and partners to set up
and use
distributed and grid computing technologies in their R&D activities;
- maintain and support ACE Lab facilities, including web/grid servers, TeraByte databases, and development workstations;
- qualified candidates have opportunity to lead software development activities as part of ongoing collaborations with external researchers to produce new distributed and grid computing technologies that enhance computing environment and capabilities for scientific research;
- and other related functions as assigned.
- Active
enrollment in pursuit of a degree in computer science (or equivalent
major);
must show transcripts;
- Coursework or experience in using and developing distributed and grid computing software;
- Experience/coursework
using common Grid computing and Web services programming languages,
tools, and
protocols such as: C, C++, Java, Python, XML, SOAP, and WSDL, WSRF;
- Languages/programming:
XMLPython, Java, Java Servlets/JSP, C/C++, SQL, PHP, MySQL, OpenGL,
Intel
Assembly Language, MIPS Assembly Language, Visual Basic, Cobol, RPG,
Hyperscript,
- experience
developing software for the following
operating systems: UNIX, Sun OS/Solaris, Mac OS X, Linux;
- Knwledge on
the following software/tools: Apache HTTP Server, Apache Tomcat
- Knwledge of
Web 2.0/portal technologies such as: AJAX, Perl CGI, Perl DBI, HTML/XHTML,
JavaScript,
CSS, etc.
- Familiar with: XMLPython, Java Servlets/JSP, C/C++, SQL, PHP, MySQL, OpenGL, Assembly Language, Visual Basic, Cobol, RPG, Hyperscript, etc.;
- Experience with Jetspeed, portlets, and other software tools used for web portals;
- Experience with Open Grid Services Architecture, the Global Grid Forum, the NSF TeraGrid, the NPACI Project, etc;
- Systems administration experience on Unix systems;
- Network security expertise and experience;
- Expertise
using Grid computing software including Globus, SRB, or Condor-G;
- Experience
working with researchers to integrate Grid technologies into their
research
activities;
