"An intensive seven week post-doctoral training fellowship bridging the gap between academia and data science"

The Insight Data Engineering Fellows Program is a full-time training fellowship that helps computer scientists and engineers transition to careers in data engineering. When Insight began in June 2012, the goal was to help recent graduates from quantitative academic fields break into the field of data science. In addition to emerging as leaders in the data science community, some of our Fellows with more technical backgrounds were hired on (and are now leading) data engineering teams at companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Microsoft.   As the program grew, it became clear that there was a strong demand for Fellows who could develop data infrastructures using the leading open source technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL databases. At the same time, there was a large community, from both industry and academic programs like computer science and electrical engineering, that have the core engineering skills and were eager to learn these tools. So, in June 2014 we launched the Insight Data Engineering program to help software engineers and recent graduates become leading data engineers at top-tier Silicon Valley tech companies.
