SEATTLE, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Allen Institute and the University of Washington's eScience Institute and Computational Neuroscience Center are launching a new fellowship program in data science and neuroscience and are seeking interested applicants. The three-year fellowship is open for applications and positions will start in fall 2021.
The program, the Shanahan Foundation Fellowship at the Interface of Data and Neuroscience, is funded by the Shanahan Family Foundation and the Allen Institute at a total of $9 million for its initial five-year phase, which will enroll up to three fellows per year for the first three years to a total of up to nine fellows. The goal of the fellowship is to attract early-career data scientists — Ph.D. researchers with a background in statistics, computer science, physics, engineering, mathematics or similar fields — to work on problems related to neuroscience. Fellows will be based at the Allen Institute, with a primary mentor from the Allen Institute and a co-mentor from the University of Washington.
