Intern Project Guidelines for Assessment

Goals:

The main goals of the Pawsey Summer Internship Program are:

  • Enable students to develop computational and research skills through immersion in high-performance computing and related topics
  • Prepare students for future work through development of technology, technical, and essential skills, such as team work, communication, etc.
  • Provide projects with the opportunity to use Pawsey resources for short, focused “sprints” of computation and/or research.

Criteria to be Scored:

We are looking for projects that align with Pawsey’s strategic direction, i.e., push our systems, try something new, standardise something or make it repeatable, add something novel, or otherwise make some contribution to computational science or to the researcher’s domain or the broader science (or public) community.

  • CRITERION 1: Well-defined project. Max 1000 characters.
    • Provide a clear, short project description, including project outcomes.
    • Include 2-4 milestones that can help guide progress of your student/s and/or project.
    • Note: Make sure your project is feasible to complete in 10 weeks.
  • CRITERION 2: Student focus. Max 1000 character.
    • Project clearly shows how it supports the student to build and apply computational or (digital) research skills and experience.
    • Discuss the planned weekly project tasks, by creating a 10-week plan (example below).
    • Note: Each week students will attend a 1-hour status update session with their Intern cohort.
      • Week 1: Student onboarding, Pawsey training, Supervisor/Project introductions.
      • Week 2:
      • Week 3: Etc. through Week 10
      • Week 10: Project completion. Posters due, poster judging, final Showcase Event.
  • CRITERION 3: Aligned to Pawsey strategic priorities. Max 1000 characters.
    • Aligned to 1 or more of the following:
      • Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence
      • Code Optimisation
      • Data Management and Complex Workflows using Acacia
      • Computational Domain Variety (including but not limited to computational humanities, medicine, bioinformatics, etc.)
      • Quantum Computing

  • CRITERION 4: Project Contribution and Innovation. Max 1000 characters.
    • Project aligns to one or both of the following:
      • Contribution to (domain) knowledge through the goals of the proposed research, and/or
      • Potential for the research to contribute to Australian science, research and innovation priorities.

IMPORTANT:

  • The intern program is not meant to be an avenue for PIs to gain access to more CPU hours/allocation.
  • Rubric:

    Scoring for each area is defined in the rubric below.
