The OpenMM 2012 Visiting Scholar Program will select up to three individuals this year to visit Simbios at Stanford University for a 4-week period between July and October to advance their OpenMM projects.

OpenMM (http://simtk.org/home/openmm) is an open-source software project led by Dr. Vijay Pande that enables molecular dynamic calculations to be accelerated on high-performance computer architectures. The latest version of OpenMM (release 4.0) includes an application layer that allows non-programmers to easily and quickly run molecular dynamics simulations and develop custom algorithms on GPUs, while programmers can incorporate the OpenMM library into their own applications.

Each visiting scholar will receive a $7000 stipend to cover their expenses. During their visits, awardees will receive training and mentoring to help them achieve their goals. They will have the opportunity to participate in formal meetings and in discussions with OpenMM experts. We are particularly interested in proposals that take advantage of the new application layer in our 4.0 release and in new features to be added to OpenMM.

DEADLINE: May 13, 2012
