A PROGRAM OF SCHMIDT SCIENCES

Overview
From climate change to infectious disease, artificial intelligence (AI) can help us tackle the challenges that humanity faces by accelerating the pace of scientific research and development.
The University of Toronto’s Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdocs program boosts the work of early-career scholars in engineering, mathematics and natural science by giving them vital tools in AI.
Apply
Experience with AI is not a requirement, but applicants must have a desire to learn new AI methodologies that stand to accelerate discoveries in their domain. Full details are on our apply page.
Apply by October 15, 2024 @ 5 PM EST


Leadership
The University of Toronto is Canada’s leading research university and the home of seminal work in artificial intelligence, from deep learning and neural networks to the interfaces between AI and the natural sciences.
This program is co-led by the directors of the University of Toronto’s Data Sciences Institute (Lisa Strug) and the Acceleration Consortium (Alán Aspuru-Guzik), with support from the Vector Institute.
Schmidt Sciences
The Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship is supported by a $148 million donation from Schmidt Futures to nine universities across the globe, including the University of Toronto.
Founded by Eric and Wendy Schmidt, Schmidt Futures is a philanthropic initiative that brings talented people together in networks to solve hard problems in science and society. Since 2024, the Schmidt Sciences team and work has transitioned from Schmidt Futures into its own non-profit organization dedicated to advancing science and technology.
