From: Lauren Haynes <lnhay...@gmail.com> We’re running the Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship <http://dssg.uchicago.edu/> again in 2017 and the application deadline is January 31st.
I wanted to ask for help in getting strong students to apply. *If there are students and/or colleagues (as mentors) who you think would be a good fit, please forward this on to them and/or send it to any mailing lists you think are relevant*. We typically look for a mix of students: Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Social Sciences, Public Policy; and create teams that spend 12 weeks over the summer working in partnership with a non-profit or government organization on projects related to education, health, sustainability, community & economic development, disaster relief, crime, social services, social justice, and more. I want to make sure people who are interested get to be a part of this and really appreciate your help in getting the word out! I'm also happy to discuss the program further if you want to get involved in any way. *More details:* Want to learn more about the fellowship? Visit http://dssg.uchicago.edu <https://xmail.uchicago.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=XHiHgBO52EyNEoTTHnrK6sy0B2dGBtIImixj6mnwxowEx1vro2IXGRrCcBQhjD-3qPvlAdupzw0.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fdssg.uchicago.edu> We are looking for: *Fellows*: Typically grad students (or advanced undergrads) who have computational and data analysis skills and want to make a social impact. Most of our fellows have backgrounds in CS, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Stats, Applied Math, Economics, Sociology, Other Social Sciences, and Public Policy. *Mentors*: If you're a Faculty member (with significant industry experience) or an experienced Data Scientist (with strong academic training) who wants to come join us for the summer, we have full-time (paid) mentor positions. Project Managers : If you have consulting experience and can manage 4 projects simultaneously with teams of 3-4 people per project, we have full-time (paid) project manager positions. Apply at http://dssg.uchicago.edu <https://xmail.uchicago.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=XHiHgBO52EyNEoTTHnrK6sy0B2dGBtIImixj6mnwxowEx1vro2IXGRrCcBQhjD-3qPvlAdupzw0.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fdssg.uchicago.edu> Cheers, Lauren Haynes Senior Project Manager Center for Data Science and Public Policy
