Foil 26 Why is Academic Implementation of Computational Science Important?

From Remarks on Parallel Computing and HPCC Education Ohio Supercomputer Center Workshop -- January 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
1 Probably not important for Industry or Government (National Laboratory) jobs
  • Excellent job market for computational scientists in these areas
2 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
