EDI: Summer 2018 Fellowship Program
The Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) is excited to announce six data management training fellowships for the period June 4 – August 13, 2018.

The application deadline is March 25, 2018. For details and other important dates please visit our website here.

The fellows will receive training in data management and gain hands-on experience through participation in data preparation, archiving and publishing with scientists at specific host research sites. The training program begins with an in-person workshop at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque (June 5 – June 7, 2018), during which the fellows learn about the process of data publishing. The knowledge gained will then be applied at the host sites.
