Seems like many of the chosen CI fellows already had postdocs–some even had faculty positions!! possibly with a lower salary than $75,000 (which is very high for an academic postdoc), which is why they applied. So much for “jobs stimulus”. I haven't seen any of the positions that they vacated “open up” to other people. The program was not carried out to maximize the number of people employed in CS, as it should have been, since it was money from a government jobs stimulus bill.

hahaha … whoops – confused “applicant-mentor” pairs with total applicants and mentors. Just go ahead and ignore that last post, and I’ll stop asking questions after a long day.

I didn’t notice this earlier, but I’m curious … how did 526 application result in only 949 applicant-mentor pairs? Many applicants listed multiple mentors, so it would seem that there should be more than 2*526 pairs. At the very least, one would assume a minimum of 1052 pairs. Did that many applicants actually fail to list a mentor? Or is there some other reason for this curiosity?

I’m sorry, but the application deadline has passed. Keep watching this blog for news about future programs.

Note that I accidentally transposed a “4″ and a “1″ in the original article. I’ve now corrected this, thus showing that the applicants received their PhDs from 145 distinct colleges and universities, not 415.

I missed the notification for CIF fellowship applications. I have one patent on inter-process communication and one pending patent on TICC-Paradigm for building formally verified parallel software using multi-core chips. Research was done by me supported by EDSS, Inc., a privately owned corporation.

Let me know please whether I can still apply.
