I wanted to pass along information about the Insight Data Science and Data Engineering Fellows Programs in case you don't have it already. I finished the Data Science program a few months ago, and it was a hugely efficient way of getting into the field. Jerome Nilmeier (also from Matt's group) is currently a fellow in the Data Engineering program. Anyway, the applications are due soon, and I'd be happy to talk to Biophysics or BMI people about the program, the application process and/or working as a Data Scientist. :) Monica ===================== Insight Data Science and Engineering Fellows Programs http://insightdatascience.com http://insightdataengineering.com Applications due soon for January 2015 Silicon Valley and New York programs The demand for data scientists and engineers is increasing rapidly. Companies need to be able to process, query, and make sense of the large volumes of information that are generated each day. The Insight Data Science Fellows Program is a training fellowship for graduate students and postdocs designed to bridge the gap between academia and a career in data science. The Insight Data Engineering Fellows Program is a training fellowship for individuals with software engineering or strong coding backgrounds (no PhD required) who want to work with the latest big data infrastructure and pipeline technologies. Insight highlights: -- 6 week, full-time, data science and engineering training fellowships. -- Dedicated office space, self-directed, project-based learning under the guidance of top industry data professionals. -- Over 100 Insight Fellow alumni are now working at companies like Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Yelp, Square, AT&T, Twitter, LinkedIn, Airbnb, Palantir, Intuit, Netflix and many startups. -- Interview at top companies in Silicon Valley or New York City immediately following the program. The January 2015 session application deadlines are: October 12 for Data Science - apply at http://insightdatascience.com October 27 for Data Engineering - apply at http://insightdataengineering.com ===================== Please feel free to forward this to any appropriate mailing lists or to anyone who might be a good candidate for the Insight Fellows Program. Questions about the program or application should be directed to info@insightdatascience.com or info@insightdataengineering.com. Matthew P.
