Subject: Michigan Data Science Fellows Program
The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) is seeking
applications for its Michigan Data Science Fellows (DS Fellows)
Program. This two-year program provides outstanding early-career
researchers with intensive data science experience as they ready
themselves for independent research and faculty positions.
Applicants must be outstanding, intellectually curious researchers
who will be ready to pursue independent research positions after two
years in the program. They should have a doctorate in a related area
before the expected start date of their fellowship. They should not
yet have a faculty position/offer. Collaboration experience and strong
communication skills will be viewed favorably. Each Fellow must
identify on the application form two MIDAS affiliate faculty as
sponsors.
Applications received by April 30, 2019 will be given fullest
consideration. Applications received after this date will be
considered until all positions are filled. For more information,

Subject: Modeling Positions at Pfizer, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Pfizer currently has several open positions suitable for those with
interest and skills in mathematical modeling of biological systems.
Many SMB members (including current Ph.D. students submitting soon and
Post-docs) would make compelling candidates. In this group we focus on
building models to describe and predict pathophysiology and its
response to existing or putative treatments.
