ORCD Newsletter: September 28, 2023

ORCD news and updates for late September.

Undergraduate and Graduate Student Positions

The MIT Office of Research Computing and Data (ORCD) has multiple undergraduate and graduate student positions to work in our research computing support team. The Office of Research Computing and Data is a new campus initiative that aims to be the “go to” future of research computing for all campus researchers at all levels. The support team provides comprehensive help and training for all researchers on campus who want to leverage computing beyond their laptop and desktop. These positions will work alongside ORCD professional staff. The roles will be involved in helping researchers working with the most advanced computing tools on MITs largest and most powerful computing systems for data analysis, modeling, AI/ML and more.

Message from Peter Fisher

I am writing to tell you about the new MIT Office for Research Computing and Data (ORCD)1. As ORCD’s inaugural head, my aim is to reach all of the research computing stakeholders across the Institute to ensure they know about this important new resource, and this message constitutes the first step in doing that.

Who we work with

We have worked with partners at MIT and beyond to develop ORCD’s early vision.
