SDSC PhD fellows

phd students writing on a board
The SDSC funds fellowships for PhD students currently enrolled at ETH Zürich or EPFL and supervised by a thesis director from the same institution.

This call primarily targets research groups at EPFL and ETH Zürich that are working on data science and machine learning methods, broadly speaking. We invite proposals for research and development of data science methods, possibly motivated by a real-world use case, that have the potential of enabling the adoption of data science in academia and industry.
