Machine Learning Visiting Scholar Program

The Flatiron Institute’s Machine Learning Visiting Scholar Program is designed to spur further collaboration between researchers at the Flatiron Institute and in academia applying machine learning to problems of scientific interest. The program will provide support to current faculty members who wish to spend sabbaticals or leaves of absence and to junior researchers who are able to defer their start date at a tenure-track position in academia in order to spend a research year at the Flatiron Institute.

The program will support up to four visiting scholars at a time, with visits up to one year in length. Junior researchers will be hired as associate research scientists with one-year appointments; senior researchers will typically have a visiting appointment compatible with their university’s sabbatical leave policies. Visiting scholars will be offered subsidized housing, salary and benefits as appropriate, travel and other research-related expenses.
