Are you a PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher looking to transition
into a career in industry? Do you want a career that truly leverages your
quantitative experience in a fast-growing, in-demand field that is making a
positive impact in the world? Top companies in many fields are hiring data
scientists to help them glean insights from the terabytes of data that they
collect everyday. While the amount of data produced and stored is growing
exponentially, there is a severe shortage of talent to analyze this data
and extract valuable insights from it. The Insight Data Science Fellows
Program is a postdoctoral training fellowship that bridges the gap between
academia and data science. Insight is a seven week, intensive program that
teaches researchers how to apply their existing analytical skills to big
data. The program consists of a project-based, industry-driven learning
approach designed to train academics in many of the cutting edge data
science tools and practices used in industry. Immediately following the
program, Fellows interview at leading companies in the San Francisco Bay
Area (Silicon Valley program), New York City (New York program), Greater
Boston Area (Boston program), Seattle (Seattle program), Toronto (Toronto
program) or at companies across North America including LA, Chicago,
Austin, Denver/Boulder, Atlanta and many midwest cities (remote program).
INSIGHT DATA SCIENCE 7 week, full-time, postdoctoral data science training
fellowship. Full tuition scholarship for all Fellows. Self-directed,
project-based learning (no classes!) under the guidance of top industry
data scientists. A group of smart people who are excited about working on
interesting problems while having a positive impact. Interview at top
companies immediately following the program
