DDDI invites all post-doctoral fellows in the School of Arts & Sciences who are developing or using data science methods to apply to be a Data Science Fellow. If data science is a significant part of your research and you are interested in cross-disciplinary interactions, apply to become a Fellow. You will join an exciting group of postdocs spanning the social and natural sciences, will have weekly interactions with faculty and visitors, and a research fund (up to $5000 total) for one year to support your research (travel, equipment, visitors, etc.). Stipend is subject for renewal.

Postdoc fellows will be expected to:

• Regularly attend and contribute to our weekly postdoc meetings
• Participate in DDDI events and activities when possible
• Contribute a tutorial or research presentation to DDDI (once per semester)

For those interested in applying to the stipend award, please submit the following 4 items along with your completed application form by following this link to the postdoc fellows submission page:

• An updated CV
