Foundations of Data Science Postdoc Opening
Yale’s Institute for Foundations of Data Science (FDS) is seeking applications for postdoctoral associate positions in Data Science. These will be generously supported postdoctoral positions, for one year and renewable up to 3 years, for scholars working on the foundations of data science. FDS postdocs can select multiple mentors from among the members of the institute, and can change their mentors during their fellowship. This is an opportunity to work with leading theorists as well as domain scientists who are eager to collaborate. A list of the members may be found on our web page, fds.yale.edu. Yale’s Data Science Initiative has supported the rapid growth of the departments of Statistics & Data Science and Computer Science, as well as many interdisciplinary activities in which the postdocs could participate, including a Data Intensive Social Science Center, a center for Biomedical Data Science, and the Schmidt Program on Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Technologies, and National Power.
Postdoctoral appointments typically begin in July to September, but other arrangements are possible. We will begin reviewing applications on November 18th, 2024. Applications received by then will receive full consideration. Funding: The starting annual salary for the postdoctoral fellows is $100,000. They will also be supplied with a $10,000 / year fund to cover travel and research expenses. Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Yale values diversity among its students, staff, and faculty and strongly welcomes applications from women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities.
