5G for Science Workshop: Open Participation Slots
by Beckman, Pete 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hello, Next Tuesday and Wednesday we will have the DOE 5G for Science workshop at the Westin in downtown Chicago: https://www.orau.gov/5GScience/ Because of the recent health concerns, some laboratories have reduced travel. I have been given permission to add local attendees, as space permits. Dr Chris Fall from DOE will be giving the welcome and Rick Stevens will be providing a keynote on AI. If you have someone you know that would like to attend, please add them to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YCR9QQ7O0VWzdunxPqzh5jffnvI6PBuHWbT… I will send out an email on Monday notifying people if they can attend, based on how many slots we have to fill and coverage for breakout groups. Please let me know if you have questions. -Pete -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

Fwd: Discretionary Action: UChicago Call for Proposals for X-ray, Polymer, and Manufacturing Science
by Salman Habib 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, FYI, if there's any interest in this, please let me know. Best Salman -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Discretionary Action: UChicago Call for Proposals for X-ray, Polymer, and Manufacturing Science Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 17:30:30 +0000 From: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov> Reply-To: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov> To: habib(a)anl.gov Discretionary Action: UChicago Call for Proposals for X-ray, Polymer, and Manufacturing Science Nominations due March 20 *DISCRETIONARY ACTION DUE: 3/20/2020* March 4, 2020 TO: Research and Development Staff FROM: Stephen Streiffer, Interim Deputy Laboratory Director for Science, Associate Laboratory Director for Photon Sciences, and Director of the Advanced Photon Source SUBJECT: UChicago Call for Proposals for X-ray, Polymer, and Manufacturing Science: Due March 20 The University of Chicago has issued a call for proposals to seed collaborations between the university and Argonne in the areas of hard X-ray science and polymer upcycling/automated labs and manufacturing science and engineering. I encourage you to submit proposals for this funding opportunity by Friday, March 20, 2020. Last fall, the UChicago Office of Research and National Laboratories (RNL) convened a group of scientist leaders from the university and Argonne to formulate novel ideas to advance key program areas and build stronger research collaborations. The RNL committed $370,000 in funding for AI for Science and Cities to the AI for Science Task Force, which is part of the larger Joint Task Force Initiative, and $250,000 in bridge support to the CMB-S4 planning project. This new call for proposals is intended to support projects in two other workshop areas: * Hard X-rays * Polymer upcycling/automated labs and manufacturing science and engineering Your proposals responding to this call should be no more than three pages and state the project goal(s), the potential impact, the research plan to achieve the goal(s), and the resources required. Include curriculum vitae for key research personnel. A key consideration will be whether the proposed project can establish a meaningful and long-lasting research collaboration between UChicago and Argonne, and in the case of the use of hard X-rays, the relationship to the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade, if any. Funding amounts will typically be those necessary to support a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher working jointly between UChicago and Argonne. Funding will be for one year with a potential second year contingent on significant progress in year one. Submit proposals in PDF format to Larry Hill at lhill(a)uchicago.edu <mailto:[email protected]> no later than Friday, March 20. Project funding announcements will be made in April with anticipated project start dates on or soon after June 1, 2020. Tobin Sosnick, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology (trsosnic(a)uchicago.edu <mailto:[email protected]>), and I (streiffer(a)anl.gov <mailto:[email protected]>) will organize proposal review in the area of hard X-rays; Stuart Rowan, professor of molecular engineering (stuartrowan(a)uchicago.edu <mailto:[email protected]>), and Cynthia Jenks, director of chemical sciences and engineering (cjenks(a)anl.gov <mailto:[email protected]>), will organize proposal review in the areas of polymer upcycling/automated labs and manufacturing science and engineering. Tobin, Stuart, Cynthia, and I can answer technical questions in our respective areas of oversight.

CPS postdocs/Postdoc mentorship coordinator
by Salman Habib 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, As all of you know, it's very important to have a vibrant postdoc program in CPS. By this summer/fall, we expect to have 6+ postdocs in the division. It's extremely important that the postdocs do well and interact strongly with each other; we ought to set a very high standard for how we work with them. For all CPS postdoc supervisors: please go to the CPS Basecamp page (https://3.basecamp.com/3115476/projects/11926740) go to Docs & Files, and enter your postdoc info in the "Postdocs in CPS" doc in the "CPS Postdocs" folder. Please do this ASAP. (If you supervise ALCF postdocs, please enter that information as well for our records.) I would like to thank Paul Romano for accepting the very important position of Postdoc Mentorship Coordinator for CPS. Paul will work with Tina Henne who has overall responsibility for the Lab's postdoc program, with CPS Division management, and with the individual postdoc supervisors and mentors. More on this soon. We will work on a CPS document specifying how we expect our postdoc program to be run, how we will provide our postdocs exemplary career development opportunities, and set our expectations of CPS supervisors and postdoc mentors. Once the draft is ready, we will make it open for comments and revisions. Best Salman
