applications for its first cohort of DSI postdoctoral fellows. Fellows will be expected to carry out an independent research program in collaboration with one or more faculty mentors who are affiliated with the DSI. Fellows will come from a diverse range of
backgrounds and domains, but their work will generally fall into one of three categories: (1) foundational data science, the development of data science methods, (2) the application of data science to one or more fields in the physical, life and social sciences,
engineering, or humanities (3) the study of the impact of data on society and its institutions. Fellows will be expected to interact with each other and with students, faculty and researchers affiliated with the DSI, and to contribute to the vibrant culture
of the DSI.</span></h1>
