The University of Chicago introduces a new program in data science for energy and environmental research to train graduate students from Geosciences, Economics, Computer Science, Statistics, Public Policy, and other programs in the computational and data science techniques critical for modern science. This program is made possible by a $3 million award from the National Science Foundation’s Research Traineeship program.
➡ To apply to be a fellow in the 2021 cohort, see information here or check out our flyer.
In September 2021, we’re hosting our 4th annual “Environmental Data Science Bootcamps”! The courses are organized by our current program fellows, and will be occurring virtually over Zoom. They cover computing and statistical techniques used in data-driven research.
