IIT Madras is Inviting Application for Fellowship in AI in Social Good; Check Details Here

New Delhi: IIT Madras has reopened the application window for its artificial intelligence fellowship in social good.

This fellowship was launched by IIT Madras’ Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBCDSAI) in partnership with the Narayanan Family Foundation last year to attract early career AI researchers with exceptional promise.

In a press release, B. Raveendran, the head of the centre at IIT-M said, "The project is designed to establish an independent research profile and to contribute significantly to socially relevant research in Artificial Intelligence (AI)".

Research fellows under this grant will get a salary ranging from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 18 lakh per year, based on the experience for a non-renewable period of three years. The research fellows are also eligible for a one time grant of Rs 30 lakhs, the press release said.

Eligibility Criteria for Application

PhD graduates who have recently completed the course or researchers in computer science, computational and data sciences, biomedical sciences, management, finance and other branches can apply for the fellowship.

It should be noted that this fellowship is not the same as the Post Baccalaureate Fellowship of RBCDSAI, and fresh applications need to be submitted for the Narayanan Family Foundation Fellowship in AI for Social Good through a separate Google form.
