PIRE Application
Science and engineering students from all ranks (BS, MS, and PhD) and backgrounds (race, ethnicity, citizenship, and gender) who are interested in the enhancement of cyberinfrastructure or in applying cyberinfrastructure to solve society- and industry-driven problems are encouraged to apply to be PIRE participants. Students with strong academic qualifications (a high GPA and GRE, if applicable), strong research track record (having a well-respected research advisor, high-quality publications in premier journals and conferences, patents, etc.), and with active participation in ongoing national/international research projects (including Research Experiences for Undergraduates) have a higher chance of acceptance into our PIRE program. Please be sure to emphasize these qualities in your Short Statement and your Resume when you submit your application. If you are applying for PIRE and do not have a research advisor, please select one from the list of PIRE Faculty members at your home institution (see the "People" tab above for their names and follow the links there for their research interests). Working with them on a project related to the core research theme of PIRE, Cyberinfrastructure Application Enablement (see http://pire.fiu.edu/poster.pdf), will help to increase your chances of becoming a PIRE Participant. For additional information, please see our PIRE Recruitment Flier. Please apply by filling out the PIRE participant application 2009-2010 PIRE Participants Selected

"PIRE... provides our students with the kind of
direct international experience and training that will
prepare them for careers in an increasingly competitive
global arena." "PIRE...will enable the next generation of
students participants to become fully engaged as members of
the globally-aware IT workforce."" "We look forward to hosting students researchers
... to foster our existing collaborations and create new
ones." "I was able to develop quite a bit as a person, researcher, and professional." "Being able to learn elements directly related to my project, the likes and dislikes of another culture, and be able to communicate in a different language are all aspects related to the PIRE program for which I will always be grateful." "It helps you build confidence that the degree you hold will enable you to tackle any problem, and, more importantly, it lets you experience the job before committing your life to it." |
