The two-year Fellows Program accepts recent PhDs who excel in their respective fields and whose work is in data science.  They will work at the boundaries of data science methods and domain sciences in an intellectually vibrant environment, and develop collaborative relationships with the U-M data science community.

The Fellows program is a new component of MIDAS’ effort to catalyze the transformative use of Data Science in a wide range of disciplines to achieve lasting societal impact, through research, education, outreach and partnership.
