The Hertz Foundation awards fellowships to promising graduate students pursuing a PhD in the applied physical and biological sciences, mathematics, or engineering.
The fellowship includes up to five years of funding, valued at up to $250,000, and the freedom to pursue innovative projects wherever they may lead. In addition, fellows take part in ongoing mentoring, symposia, and workshops with a vibrant community of more than twelve hundred fellows comprising a group of peers spanning disciplines, generations, and geography.
The foundation does not award fellowships based on an applicant’s particular field of study; however, it does require that applicants direct their work toward understanding and solving a major, near-term problem facing society. For each applicant, that could mean something different — inventing a new technology, developing a business, or applying their interests in innovative ways.
It is up to the applicant to advocate for their specific field of study and demonstrate how it will be applied to address real-world challenges with the greatest impact.
Before applying, the foundation encourages potential applicants to explore the details of the fellowship to make sure it’s a good fit.
For more information, including eligibility criteria, a list of participating graduate schools, and an FAQ, see the Hertz Foundation website.

More Hiring Opportunities TDI has partnered with Hays, a well-respected recruiting agency, so that we can now place our candidates in exciting data science jobs all around the world at some of today’s hottest companies.
We look forward to seeing your application! The Data Incubator
Early application deadline for The Data Incubator’s Summer 2020 Fellowship cohort closes on April 3. Apply here!
Get the insights into coding you need for a more successful application. Join us on Tuesday, March 31 at 1PM ET for a practical data science demo: a live session with instructor Michael Cullen introducing the how and the why of data science.
We’ll cover some common tools and techniques for exploring data and demonstrate how to use them to answer meaningful questions.
Michael will show you how to do some initial exploration of a data set and turn broad questions into specific ones.
If you don’t already have access to Jupyter notebooks and Pandas, make sure you get what you need before the session begins.
In this live, 30 minute webinar, Michael will show you the steps to:
– Start with an analytical question, then introduce a data set
– Perform initial exploration of the data set, including inspecting columns, looking for missing values, basic visualizations and summary statistics
– Form a plan for analysis, turning the original question into something we can compute
– Find some “checkpoint” values we can compute as we work toward the final answer
– Understand code style and readability.
