This fellowship addresses a critical need at NIAID for expertise in data science and ability to apply those skills to the NIAID mission. It aims to establish a cadre of talented data scientists (i.e., expertise in biomedical informatics, computational biology, epidemiology, computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, or related fields) with a keen interest in applying their knowledge and skills to advance NIAID’s research mission. This fellowship is managed by NIAID's Office of Data Science and Emerging Technologies (ODSET).
About the Fellowship
The fellowship is project-oriented; fellows will participate in various data science related projects. This is a one-year fellowship and may be renewable for a second year. Projects will involve collaborations between the ODSET and NIAID intramural and extramural Divisions and Offices. NIAID also encourages fellows to participate in a variety of developmental opportunities during their fellowship to broaden their perspectives on NIAID's research mission and data science needs, strengthen technical competencies, and further develop leadership abilities.
Fellows will receive training and hands-on experience in data analytics, informatics strategies, computational platforms, and software development to study infectious diseases and immune-mediated disorders in NIAID’s intramural and extramural programs. They will receive training at the intersection of disease-oriented and data-intense research efforts. Learn more about the current fellows and alumni.
