Hello,
The Harvard Data Science Initiative (HDSI) is seeking applications for its flagship Harvard Data Science Postdoctoral Fellows Program for the 2023-2024 academic year. The normal duration of the Fellowship is two years. Fellows will receive a generous salary as well as an annual allocation for research and travel expenses. The deadline to apply is November 14th, 2022. More information and applications can be found here: https://datascience.harvard.edu/data-science-postdoctoral-fellows
We are looking for researchers whose interests are in data science, broadly construed, and including researchers with a primarily methodological focus as well as researchers who advance both methodology and application. Fellows will be provided with the opportunity to pursue their research agenda in an intellectually vibrant environment with ample mentorship. We are looking for independent researchers who will seek out collaborations with other fellows and with faculty across all schools of Harvard University.
We recognize that strength comes through diversity and actively seek and welcome people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities.
Funding Priorities:
The HDSI Postdoctoral Fellows Program will support outstanding researchers whose interests relate to the following themes:
1) Methodological foundations including, for example, causal inference, data systems design, deep learning, experimental design, modeling of structured data, random matrix theory, non-parametric Bayesian methods, scalable inference, statistical computation, and visualization.
2) Development of data science approaches tailored to analytical challenges in fields that span the full intellectual breadth of Harvard’s faculties. To give some purely illustrative examples, these fields include health sciences (e.g., life and population sciences), earth systems (e.g. climate change research); society (e.g., data that can affect the experience of individuals or policy); and the economy (e.g., blockchain, labor economics, digital markets). This list is by no means exhaustive.
Successful applicants will be expected to lead their own research agenda while collaborating with others, including members of Harvard’s faculty, and to contribute to building up the field of data science. The Fellows program offers numerous opportunities to engage with the broader data science community, both inside and outside Harvard, including through seminar series, informal lunches, mentoring opportunities, opportunities for fellow-led programming, and other networking events.
Available Funding:
Stipend: $84,897 is available in salary support per year for an initial two-year appointment. Appointments may be extended for a third year with partial support, budget and performance allowing.
Travel: An additional $10,000 will be allocated for research and travel expenses each year.
Relocation expenses: Funding is available to support relocation expenses for fellows moving to the Cambridge, MA area. Please inquire about the availability of funding with an email to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Requests for funding are evaluated separately from a candidate’s application.
Appointment dates: While most incoming Fellows begin their appointment at the beginning of September, earlier or later start dates can be arranged to accommodate Fellows’ needs. If an earlier or later start date is of interest, please let us know at any point during the application process.
