Deadline: 28-Feb-23
The Oracle for Research Fellows Program is now open for applications.
Oracle for Research is a unique program, built to support the work of scientific researchers. Many of the people on their team have a background in research, and they have a deep understanding of the research process. At their core, they believe technology shouldn’t hinder research, and they’re here to help you navigate and, where possible, simplify the increasingly complex landscape surrounding computational research. They want to help you store, manage, and analyze your data to help you reach scientific results and conclusions faster.
