Foil 25 Why is Academic Implementation of Computational Science Important?

From Computational Science Overview May 1195 Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar -- May 5,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Probably not important for Industry or Government (National Laboratory) jobs
  • Excellent job market for computational scientists in these areas
However Academia (in general) only appoints faculty in existing well defined academic areas where peer review group exists
  • To some extent, this is also true for funding agencies for even if Program Manager likes Interdisciplinary work, reviewers may not as come from established areas
  • Interdisciplinary Scientist is Jack of All Trades but Master of none?
  • Probably poor job opportunities in Academia for Computational Scientist however field implemented
