[JOB ADVERT] Post-Doc Data Science Fellowship Opportunity

If you’re wondering whether the academic path is right for you, but cannot imagine wasting the technical skills you’ve developed, you might want to consider a career in data science, ‘the sexiest job of the 21st century’ according to Harvard Business School.

Data science is the set of skills and techniques necessary to find, store, process and draw insights from the vast quantities of data now available.

In your PhD, you receive an amazing training in 90% of the skills required to be a data scientist – things like collecting and interpreting data, testing hypotheses and communicating results. All that’s needed is for you to excel in an exciting new career is to acquire the remaining 10% – the industry specific skills. This is where the ASI Fellowship helps.

The ASI offer an 8-week full-time Fellowship based in London, developed in collaboration with industry, specifically aimed at helping PhD students and Post-docs in science, maths and engineering transition to a career in data science. The Fellowship is free of charge.

The next ASI Fellowship starts on 11th January 2016. Applications are open until Monday 26th October. Apply at: www.theasi.co/fellowship
