Postdoctoral Fellowship, Data Institute

University of San Francisco

Job Summary:

The Data Institute at the University of San Francisco is proud to invite applications for a postdoctoral position starting in August 2019. Launched in the summer 2016, the Data Institute was founded with a four part mission: to find new and innovative ways to break down the walls between academia and industry; advance pure and applied data science research; build and foster an inclusive data science community; and train the next generation of data scientists.

Associated academic Data Institute programs include the Bachelors in Data Science (BSDS), Masters in Data Science (MSDS) and several continuing education certificates (Deep Learning, SQL, Exploratory Data Analysis, etc.). MSDS includes state of the art education in data science and bridges knowledge-to-practice through a 9-month practicum that provides students the opportunity to be mentored and solve important data science problems with companies like Under Armour, Eventbrite, Mozilla, and Reddit.

The MSDS and the BSDS programs, with the support of the Data Institute, are interdisciplinary degree programs with a diverse and growing community of full-time faculty members from Data Science, mathematics and statistics, and computer science.

The data science faculty at USF and the Data Institute pursue academic excellence and are committed to fostering an environment in which faculty, staff, and students from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and personal experiences are welcomed and can thrive.
