openlab summer student programme 2009
CERN is where the World Wide Web
was born 20 years ago...
…
And where dizzying challenges in
networking, data processing and storage abound!

Who should apply?
B.Sc., M.Sc., or Ph.D. students
in Computer Science or Physics, interested in
working on cutting edge technology projects for two
months during the period June-September 2009, with
the possibility of follow-on projects in their home
institutes.

How to join?
Candidates for the CERN openlab Student Programme
are normally proposed by University supervisors. The
student’s CV, a recommendation by the supervisor,
and an indication of the preferred area of work
should be sent to
sverre (dot) jarp (at) cern (dot) ch
by 31st March 2009.
Confirmation of student placement will be made to
supervisors shortly thereafter.
Stipend
The stipend for a two-month study
is 5000CHF for travel, accommodation and per diem,
normally sponsored 50% by the student’s home
institute or university and 50% by CERN and the CERN
openlab industrial partners of CERN. Students must
have their own health insurance.
Student projects
Several projects and groups at CERN participate in
the openlab student programme, including the WLCG
(Worldwide LHC Computing Grid), EGEE (Enabling Grids
for E-SciencE). Examples of projects that students
undertook in 2008 include:
- Database virtualisation
- Benchmarking state-of-the-art hardware
- Multithreaded software solutions
- Long distance replication of data between Grid
sites
- Investigation of efficient network packet filters
- Testing of performance monitoring software |
