Projects
The Dominguez Center for Data Science offers two programs to support students exploring data science research.
As part of the The JoAnn Patrick-Ezzell ’75 & Andrew Ezzell Data Science Student Fellows Program (DSSFP), students work on semester-long collaborative data science projects.
As part of the DSSFP, students will:
- Work on semester-long collaborative data science projects
- Collaborate with a project stakeholder and a data science mentor
- Receive an hourly wage for their work, supervised by the Center Director
- Meet regularly with the Center Director and the rest of the DSSFP student cohort
This program is ideal for students who want to expand their data science skills, don’t already have a project or mentor in mind, and would enjoy working in a small cohort.
As part of the Scholarly Grant Program (SGP), students work with a Bucknell faculty or staff mentor for a semester on a project relating to some aspect of data science.
As part of the SGP, students will:
- Work on semester-long data science research projects
- Collaborate with a faculty/staff mentor
- Receive an hourly wage for their work, supervised by the faculty/staff mentor
This program is ideal for students who want to apply existing data science skills, have already identified faculty/staff mentors for a project, and would like to work more independently.
We encourage project mentors to consider applying for an SGP only if the project is unsuited to the DSSFP or was not selected for that program.
