Leacock Building
Room 232, 855 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 2T7, CA
Come learn about career opportunities in data science and artificial intelligence and what you can do to facilitate a career transition from academia to industry.
Laureline Arnaud finished her PhD in neuroscience at McGill early 2018. She is now the Insight’s Data Science Program Director in Toronto. She will give a presentation and Q&A on careers in data science.
Scientists and engineers from diverse fields, including physics, astronomy, computational biology, neuroscience, math, statistics, and computer science, are playing key roles in transforming the way companies and public institutions work with data to impact our daily lives. This event will provide a high-level overview of data science in the technology industry and describe the Insight Fellows Program. The session will include time for Q&A, as well as advice for those interested in transitioning to careers in data science and artificial intelligence.
About Insight:
The Insight Data Science Fellows Program is an intensive, seven week postdoctoral training fellowship that bridges the gap between academic research and a career in data science. Based in 4 cities in the US and in Toronto, the program enables scientists to learn the industry-specific skills through a project-based, industry-driven learning approach designed to train academics in many of the cutting edge data science tools and practices used in industry.
There are now over 1,800 Insight Fellows working as data scientists and data engineers on top data-driven teams including the New York Times, Netflix, Twitter, Bloomberg, Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Viacom, Enigma, Jet.com, and NBC, as well as at various well-funded startups.
