Funded short course opportunity: I'm excited to announce that applications are open for the next #URSSI winter school on research software engineering, 15-17 December in Portland, Oregon: https://urssi.us/blog/2025/11/05/applications-now-open-for-the-2025-urssi-winter-school-in-research-software-engineering/

Open to grad students, postdocs, and other early career researchers (or beyond!) looking to increase their skills in developing research software. Fully funded.

Quick turnaround—applications close 21 November, so apply soon!

Hi everyone, just a reminder that this Friday (25 July 2025) at 11:59 pm PST is the deadline for round 2 of #URSSI early-career fellowship applications.

If you work around scientific software development and have project ideas that align—even loosely—to the focus areas, please apply!

Hi friends, happy to announce that we’ve opened applications for the second round of #URSSI early-career fellows!

tl;dr: $10k-25k for US-based early career researchers to do projects related to topics in scientific software. Applications due 25 July

Project proposals should focus on AI/ML integration in scientific software development, scientific software sustainability, or software education research.

Software & open science folks: @madickenmunk.bsky.social is organizing an #URSSI Summer School this August on open science and research software engineering at Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks: https://urssi.us/blog/2025/06/03/applications-open-for-2025-summer-school-in-open-science--research-software-engineering/

Please share with early career researchers who might be interested—or apply, if that is you!

I'm very thankful and excited for the opportunity that the #URSSI Early-Career fellowship is providing me! I've long been interested in my physics research on areas of analysis reuse and with new technologies I'm excited to bring fully reproducible analysis environments to hardware accelerated and machine learning workflows as "sensible defaults" with the right semantics for scientists. Watch this space for future updates and announcements!

I'm excited to (belatedly) announce the two inaugural #URSSI Early Career Fellows, @matthewfeickert and @sz!

You can read more in our official announcement post: https://urssi.us/blog/2025/04/25/urssi-welcomes-first-early-career-fellows/

We'll be opening our next call for fellowship proposals in the coming months, as well as sharing outcomes from fellow activities.

Friends, please share widely: I'm happy to announce a funding opportunity for US-based early career researchers: the #URSSI Fellowship!

We have funding for research in one of these areas: AI/ML Integration in Scientific Software Development, Scientific Software Sustainability, or Software Education Research. Thanks to the Sloan Foundation for supporting this!

(Software dev itself is out of scope for this one, sorry!)

This July, my alma mater, Univ of Illinois, is hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering

The workshop focuses on helping early-career researchers (e.g, grad students, post-docs) level up from capable programmers to rock stars of accessible, open science

Best of all it's being organized by the brilliant Madicken Munk!

Oh, did I mention... it's free!

Application deadline is June 6th. Spread the word!
