CAAI Fellows Program
What is the CAAI Pre-Doctoral Program?
The Applied Machine Learning Pre-Doctoral Program offers two-year research opportunities for aspiring PhD students interested in machine learning, economics, social science, and related fields. Fellows work closely with Booth faculty on real research projects, gain hands-on experience across the full research pipeline, and receive academic guidance as they prepare for doctoral study.
Applications are currently closed. Check back for future opportunities.
