Globus has been selected as a mentor organization for the 2008 Google Summer of Code. This means that if you are a talented student programmer, you can sign up to work on a project. You get a modest amount of fortune (US$4500) and some degree of fame (TBD), and Globus gets a nice open source code contribution. We have a set of project ideas online, but if you think of something else that should be done, let us know!
We're ramping up hiring at the Computation Institute. There are currently six open positions posted, and more will be appearing soon. Please let us know of talented individuals!

My employer, Argonne National Laboratory, has a really nice postdoctoral fellowship program awarded internationally on an annual basis to outstanding doctoral scientists and engineers "at early points in promising careers." The pay isn't bad ($72,000 plus $20,000 for travel and equipment), but the opportunity to work in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division and Computation Institute is really something, in my humble opinion. And you get a fancy title. Perhaps "Metropolis Postdoctoral Fellow" is most appropriate for a computer scientist: he founded the Institute for Computer Research at Chicago in 1957.
Applications are due by October 13. See http://www.anl.gov/Careers/namedpostdocs.html.
