Universitas Gadjah Mada have partnered with Imperial College London for the second year on The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Global Faculty Fellowship for AI in Science, supported by Schmidt Sciences. This opportunity is for early career faculty members from any Science/Engineering department that seek to disrupt science and engineering using AI. Expertise in AI is not a prerequisite nor is a background in Computing. Faculty members will spend 1 year in Imperial College London as part of their AI in Science Fellowship programme and will be bought out from teaching for the year of their return. These prestigious faculty fellowships, with a generous stipend and mobility fund, will be given bespoke training and 1-on-1 career development support, will join a collocated cohort of top scholars based in I-X (Imperial’s flagship AI initiative) and join the international network of Schmidt Sciences AI in Science fellows. The fellowships are flexible and independent, allowing recipients to freely explore how AI can change the way they do Science and Engineering.
