List of summer and postdoctoral fellowships in data science

April 17, 2018


Data science fellowships seem like really good opportunities. I came across quite a few and wanted to organize them to hopefully be useful to me and others. You can see the details of these fellowships in the table below, or in this Google Sheet. Please comment on the sheet if you know of any that I’m missing.

UPDATE: After completing the Insight Data Science Fellowship Program, I wrote this post on its pros an cons.

There are some other fellowship opportunities that look potentially interesting:

  1. Open NASA Data Fellows - Still in concept phase
  2. Washington research foundation post doc fellowships - Post docs, not explicitly data science. 3 years. $65k/year. Apply June 16. Start January. 3 years.
  3. Broad institute post doc fellowships - post docs in healthcare
  4. Stanford directory of postdoctoral positions - includes several data science post docs
  5. Center for data analytics & society post docs - 1-year post docs at University of Leeds and other schools. Apps due Mar 23. Possibly will occur again next year.
