Data Science Fellowship Opportunities

Current Fellows in the Data Science & Engineering Research Group

Learn more about the fellows and what they do.

The Data Science and Engineering Research Group (DSERG), led by Jonas Almeida, Ph.D., is involved in large cohort studies, both national and international. Data types are constantly evolving. The group works with data including:

genomics
digital pathology
computational pathology
environmental exposures
lifestyle/behavior
artificial intelligence

The technology landscape is evolving rapidly, with wearable sensing and consumer-facing health services creating entirely new opportunities to research and develop precision prevention of cancer. Fellows contribute to hackathons such as cloud4bio.github.io.

Apply to be a Fellow in DSERG

The Data Science Research and Engineering Group seeks candidates with a doctoral degree with an emphasis on:

bioinformatics
computational statistics
computer science
media science
data science
neural network-based artificial intelligence (AI)

Projects are technology and data-intensive and explore computational solutions at the consumer-facing intersection of cloud and web computing.

Growing the Field: Fellowships in Data Science

Dr. Monjoy Saha discusses the value of data science training at the NCI

Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis and must include:

a curriculum vitae;
a statement of research interests to be pursued during training; and
three letters of reference.

For more information about the position, contact Jonas Almeida, Ph.D., Director of Data Science.
