NYU Pathways to AI Program – Summer 2023

Application is now open! Application deadline is February 1st

The NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences is excited to announce the launch of our Second Pathways to AI Program for Summer 2023!  Pathways to AI is looking for motivated first years and sophomores who plan to major in computer science, or any other field in which AI plays a significant role, and who are interested in exploring research careers.  Our goal is to expand the field of scientists to include those who have been historically underrepresented.

This program will provide students with the basic skills needed to get involved in AI research. Over the course of six weeks, students will attend mini-courses in topics such as Python, data science, computational math, and Big Ideas in AI. Students will also participate in several research  lab rotations, which will provide them with an opportunity to learn about ongoing research projects directly from faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. 

Program Dates: June 26 – August 4, 2023

Stipend: $4,000 (plus $500 for travel expenses)

Accommodations: On-campus NYU Housing is included

Location: NYU’s campus in the heart of New York City’s Greenwich Village

In addition to classes and spending the summer in NYC, participants will meet their peers, learn from world-renowned NYU faculty, and attend panels and workshops with guest speakers and NYU graduate students. 

Pathways to AI is open to all students and especially encourages applications from individuals who come from diverse backgrounds and whose academic and research experience contribute significantly to the diversity and academic excellence at NYU.

Please feel free to reach out to pathways-ai@nyu.edu if you have any questions about the program.

Doctoral Training Programme in Mathematics of Random Systems at Oxford

Deadlines: Jan 6, 2023 & Mar 1, 2023

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Mathematics of Random Systems: Analysis, Modelling and Algorithms is a partnership between three world-class departments in the area of probabilistic modelling, stochastic analysis and their applications, the Oxford Mathematical Institute, the Oxford Department of Statistics and the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, with the ambition of training the next generation of academic and industry experts in stochastic modelling, advanced computational methods and Data Science.

Students should participate if they are interested in a PhD in Mathematics of Random Systems. Applications are now open (CLICK HERE) for fully funded studentships on our doctoral training programme.

The CDT offers a fully funded 4-year comprehensive training programme at the frontier of scientific research in Probability, Stochastic Analysis, Stochastic Modelling, stochastic computational methods and applications in physics, finance, biology, healthcare and data science.

Students receive solid training in core skills related to probability theory, stochastic modelling, data analysis, stochastic simulation, optimal control and probabilistic algorithms. In the first year, students follow four Core courses on Foundation areas as well as three elective courses, and undertake a supervised research project, which then evolves into a PhD thesis.

The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) will be present at the Oxford Mathematical Institute Postgraduate Open Day in person and virtually which will be held on Nov 23, 2022.
