Charles W. Smith Jr. Graduate Fellowship in AI/ML for Biosciences
The BioML Society has partnered with Texas Biologics to create the Charles W. Smith Jr. Graduate Fellowship in AI/ML for Biosciences.
Each year, two fellowships will be awarded to support doctoral candidates pursuing dissertation research on any topic related to AI/ML as applied to the fields of biologics or biosciences. The purpose of the fellowship is to develop the fellows’ skillsets to help them become leaders in the emerging field of BioML. Additionally, this fellowship program intends to build collaboration between research groups at The University of Texas, where the fellow brings experience in BioML and/or bioinformatics and the collaborating lab brings research questions that could be advanced through the application of AI/ML. One key component of the fellowship is that the fellows will engage with The BioML Society and ensure that it remains a strong community for interdisciplinary collaboration and mentorship.
Fellows will receive the following benefits:
A 12-month stipend of $40,000
Full tuition and health insurance
$7,500 for research and travel
An initial allocation of 5,000 SUs from the Center for Generative AI
This fellowship was made possible through a generous gift from Charlie Smith III in honor of his late father, Charles W. Smith Jr.
