DDDI invites all post-doctoral fellows in the School of Arts & Sciences who are developing or using data science methods to apply to be a Data Science Fellow. If data science is a significant part of your research and you are interested in cross-disciplinary interactions, apply to become a Fellow. You will join an exciting group of postdocs spanning the social and natural sciences, will have weekly interactions with faculty and visitors, and a research fund (up to $5000 total) for one year to support your research (travel, equipment, visitors, etc.). Stipend is subject for renewal.

Postdoc fellows will be expected to:

• Regularly attend and contribute to our weekly postdoc meetings
• Participate in DDDI events and activities when possible
• Contribute a tutorial or research presentation to DDDI (once per semester)

Application Instructions

For those interested in applying to the stipend award, please submit the following 4 items along with your completed application form by following this link to the postdoc fellows submission page:

• Describe how you use data science methods in your research. Maximum 1 page single-spaced. A reference list after the research statement can be included and will not count toward the 1 page limit.
• Include links to 1-3 papers (published or working papers) that show your use of data science in your research
• An updated CV
• A statement from your postdoc advisor endorsing your participation in the DDDI fellows program (a one sentence acknowledgement is sufficient)

Selection process

Candidates should apply by January 15th, 2025, for full consideration. Applications will be reviewed on that date, and then considered on an ongoing basis until positions are filled.

General application questions may be sent to ddd-info@sas.upenn.edu.
