URSSI Welcomes First Early-Career Fellows
Nic Weber and Kyle Niemeyer • April 25, 2025
URSSI Welcomes First Early-Career Fellows We’re thrilled to announce the first two recipients of the US Research Software Sustainability Institute (URSSI) Early-Career Fellowship. This program supports emerging researchers to advance scientific software development practices. Meet Our Fellows Matthew Feickert will develop an open-source course on creating reproducible software environments for scientific and AI/ML applications. His project “Reproducible Machine Learning Workflows for Scientists” will focus on using tools like Pixi to create version-controlled research environments with specialized hardware accelerator support.
Call for proposals for the URSSI Early-Career Fellowship Program
Kyle Niemeyer and Nic Weber • November 22, 2024
The US Research Software Sustainability Institute (URSSI) invites applications for an Early-Career Fellowship program. This fellowship offers funding support between $10,000 and $25,000 for research in one of the following areas: AI/ML Integration in Scientific Software Development, Scientific Software Sustainability, or Software Education Research. The fellowship is open to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research software engineers, and research scientists who are less than three years removed from their final degree.
Applications now open for a Summer School in Open Science + Research Software Engineering

Do you want your science, research, and software to be open and accessible? Do you use or develop software in your research? Do you have some basic skills and would like to build on and expand them? If this sounds like you, then you might be interested in the upcoming Summer School in Open Science and Research Software Engineering. In July 2024, we will be hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Applications now open for the 2024 URSSI Summer School in Research Software Engineering
Kyle Niemeyer, Lorena Barba • February 29, 2024
Do you develop software for your research? Do you have some basic skills but desire more? If so, you might be interested in the upcoming URSSI Summer School in Research Software Engineering. Building off our pilot workshop in December 2019 and a recent winter school held in January 2024, we are hosting a three-day workshop on research software engineering skills over 24–26 June 2024 in Washington, DC, on the campus of George Washington University.
