The Research Computing and Data (RCD) group in Clemson Computing and Information Technology (CCIT) is seeking interns to support Clemson’s goal to increase research capacity. Interns in this position will learn the basics of high-performance computing and will support researchers making use of advanced cyber infrastructure including the Palmetto 2 Cluster and Indigo Data Lake.
As an RCD intern, you will be responsible for supporting the RCD staff in several areas, including:
