Data Science Fellowship Opportunity

If you will be a full-time student next academic year, please consider applying to be a Data Science Fellow for 2020-21. The fellowship comes with a $5,000 stipend. You will be paired with a faculty mentor and be involved in data science research, outreach, and/or curriculum development. There will also be opportunities to interact with the other Data Science Fellows (both at Cal Poly and at UCSB).

Here is the link to the application.

We are extending the application deadline to May 8 and the deadline for letters of recommendation to May 15.

Please don't hesitate to contact Professor Ventura (jventu09@calpoly.edu) or myself if you have any questions.
