"Faculty: Tenure, Promotion, Reward System"
Do the academic faculty and researchers
with whom you work seem
distracted, unresponsive, or stressed at times?
Often?
This session will be
a discussion of the academic promotion and reward systems
and changes in these systems.
This might give you some insight into
the thinking of researchers
that can help with collaborations.

"Facilitating Cloud Computing"
Abstract:
Facilitating research in the cloud
presents a unique set of challenges for
Research Computing and Data facilitators,
researchers, students, and institutions.
In this panel,
we focus on the challenges and obstacles
faced by facilitators
and some of the tools, methods, and approaches
used at various institutions
to overcome them,
and lessons learned.
Areas of discussion will include:
cloud training for facilitators and researchers;
what workloads are appropriate (and not) for the cloud;
the importance of adapting and fundamentally changing
workloads for the cloud;
managing the plethora of services and vendor lock in;
cost management;
some of the valuable lessons learned and
fundamental changes in thinking
along the journey to the cloud.
This panel will take the perspective of utilizing
the most popular public cloud providers,
but will be relevant to
most cloud-native environments
(including on-prem cloud).

PANEL:

"Teams of CI Professionals:
Recruitment & Retention,
Management, Team-building, and Motivation"
Abstract:
Research computing is in an exciting era
and has never evolved as rapidly as
in the past 20 years.
The increased possibilities for research
are accompanied by increased complexity of
software, data, hardware and lab instruments.
The roles of
CI Facilitators,
Research Software Engineers,
Data Scientists
and
Science Gateway Creators
are crucial for supporting
researchers with computational and data analytic methods.
The full recognition of
the importance of
roles, incentives and suitable career paths
still have a long way to go
in non-commercial research institutions
(academic, government and not-for-profit).
The panelists will discuss
experiences and lesson learned
about
recruitment,
retention,
management,
team-building,
and
motivation
of people in this line of work.
