Within SD, there are 5 groups:

Each new hire joins a specific group for management purposes, but you may work on projects in other areas based on your skills and what our current activities are.

Your Work Equipment

Your manager will work with HR and IT to ensure you have the equipment you need to work. Based on this, you will be provided equipment that has been set up by IT. Contact us if you have specific requests or needs that we may be able to help with. 

The email for general IT requests is help+its@ncsa.illinois.edu.

Linux users may find the Linux workstation guide for NCSA employees useful.

Virtual Workspaces and Resources

We use various virtual workspaces to work together as a team. These include Slack, Zoom, Google Drive, Box, and more. Below, please find some information on getting started with these.

Meetings

As with virtual workspaces, your supervisor should make you aware of any meetings you need to attend. Coordinate with them and/or Lisa Yanello to ensure you are invited and have the appropriate dial-in information.

Report Time Off

  1. To request time off, confirm with your manager
  2. Once approved, update your personal calendar (Outlook) and the directorate calendar (link)
  3. Email sd@lists.ncsa.illinois.edu to notify the directorate of the dates of your upcoming time off. Include "OOO" in your subject line. This way, people are aware of your upcoming time off.
