Research at the Data Science Institute

The Data Science Institute transcends traditional boundaries by organizing our research into interdisciplinary themes focused on high impact results that can benefit society. These themes and focus areas will naturally evolve as the field of data science matures and DSI scales.Our research strategy includes multi-year research initiatives, seed grants for high-risk, high-reward research projects, and the development of a research ecosystem that can pursue and support strategic external funding opportunities and industry partnerships.

We also offer a postdoctoral fellowship that provides the opportunity to pursue original research on significant questions in data science, while also developing specialized domain expertise in one or more complementary areas such as behavioral science, healthcare, and public policy.    

The Data Science Institute continues research programs started by the Center for Data and Computing at the University of Chicago. For more on CDAC, visit their website.
