The Energy Globe Award is presented in the Categories Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Youth and distinguishes particularly sustainable projects. The Award is presented at the national and international level .
Anyone wishing to apply for the ENERGY GLOBE Award must complete an application form.
Please send the following documentation along with the filled-out application form: (documents A-C in English or German)

A) A short summary of the project (should not exceed 100 words) and a minimum of two (digital) project pictures in good quality. All of these will be used for the ENERGY GLOBE project database.

B) A detailed description (approx. 2 pages): Description of the project, including a time schedule and exact details concerning the level of implementation. Please add specific facts and figures that document the effect of your project.

C) A half page addressing each of the following evaluation criteria:
– Project aim taking into consideration the sustainability and efficiency of the project.
– Innovative aspects of the project, taking into account the technological standards and the circumstances in the region.
– Cost/benefit in terms of economic and social aspects.
– Replication potential: suitability of the project for implementation elsewhere
– Environmental compatibility: in particular regarding emissions and
climate protection.

D) If available: Documentation material such as publications, newspaper articles, photographs, videotapes, DVDs, brochures, website, etc.

Please be sure to fill out the application form completely. The back of the application form suggests keywords for possible project areas. Your project need not necessarily fit into these designations.

By participating in the ENERGY GLOBE you agree to accept a publication of your project. If deemed necessary by the organizer, the submitted project may be moved to another category. Submitted projects are also documented in the ENERGY GLOBE database.

Scholarship Deadline: June 15th, 2011

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Compiler and GPU Tools Research, USA

The Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSM) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks postdocs in the area of Software Application Tools to work in a programming environment for the petascale, and current and future ultra scale class platforms. This person will be part of the Application Performance Tools group, and will be expected to help contribute to bringing such an environment into being with technical contributions, as well as by working in collaboration with the user-community, industry, and the wider R&D community.
The Software Application Tools Developer will report to the Application Performance Tools Group Leader. The successful applicant will work with other staff members within the CSM and National Center for Computational Sciences organizations on providing a Programming Environment that meets the technical challenges posed by the petascale and exascale class of platforms, and that meets user requirement on these systems.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.

Postdoctoral or Post-Master’s Research Associate in the Computer Science Research Group, USA

The  Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications for Postdoctoral and  Post-Master’s term research appointments in the Computer Science Research Group  of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division. The appointment is initially  limited to one year from start with an option for a second year contingent to  funding availability. It is part of a research project that aims at developing  a soft error resilience strategy for future-generation extreme-scale  high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Soft errors are an emerging threat  for these systems. Uncorrectable errors that occur in an ECC memory module once  within a few million hours can cause a system error rate of a few hours. Also,  undetected errors (silent data corruptions) are becoming a problem as well.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.
