The Data Incubator is an intensive 7 week fellowship that prepares masters, PhDs, and postdocs in STEM + social science fields seeking industry careers as data scientists. The program is free for fellows and supported by sponsorships from dozens of employers across multiple industries. There will be both an in-person (in NYC, DC, SF) and online section of the fellowship. There is a common application for both the online and in-person sections. Dates: All sections will be from 2015-09-08 to 2015-10-23. Who should apply: Anyone within one year of graduating from a masters or PhD program or who has already obtained a masters or PhD is welcome to apply. Applications from international students are welcome. Everyone else is encouraged to sign-up for a future session. Apply here. For additional information, checkout the blog, Venture Beat article, or Harvard Business Review piece.
The Data Science Association International Journal of Data Science (IJDS) is calling for papers. The deadline for the next available IJDS issue is August 1, 2015. If you would like to submit a paper contact us here.
