Here are just a few examples of how Yahoo! reaches out to the best students from leading universities around the world.
Fellowship Program
Supporting the academic community is a top priority at Yahoo!. The Yahoo! PhD Student Fellowship Program was created to recognize outstanding graduate students working in related research areas. Our fellowship program sponsors candidates conducting advanced research in the following areas:
Search (information retrieval, web analysis, graph theory,
data mining, and recommender systems)
Machine learning
Community systems (large-scale databases and
distributed systems)
We strongly encourage students working in any of the above areas to apply. Yahoo! fellows will not only benefit from our comprehensive financial support, but will also receive access to top Yahoo! researchers in their fields and exclusive invitations to important research events.
Please refer to our website for more details about the application process and eligibility requirements. If you have any questions, please contact us at yahoofellowship@yahoo-inc.com.
