AI in science
Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship
Application deadline: October
Supports postdocs applying AI to accelerate scientific discovery. Fellows are embedded across U of T labs with cross-cohort programming.
Program details ↗Join PI-Vision
We’re building a collaborative environment for researchers who are excited about physics-informed imaging, from postdoctoral fellows to visiting scholars. Below you’ll find the best pathways into the group today.
Undergraduate researchers
Independent research projects
We periodically mentor undergraduate students on research projects that align with physics-informed imaging, computational sensing, and data-driven astronomy. These projects typically run during the summer or academic year for course credit or fellowship support.
If you’re an undergraduate interested in working with PI-Vision, please review our current research focus areas and ongoing projects, then fill out the brief interest form so we can learn about your background and how your interests align.
Graduate students
Prospective graduate students
If you are interested in joining PI-Vision as a graduate student, please apply through the Department of Computer Science and/or the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics. Admissions are handled centrally, and we send out graduate offers as a group as part of the Toronto Computational Imaging Group (TCIG). Please refer to the Computer Science graduate admissions guidlines ↗ for deadlines and requirements.
I review applications through the graduate admissions system and cannot respond to emailed applications. If you are already a U of T graduate student, feel free to email Aviad to discuss research opportunities.
Postdoctoral fellows
Fellowship pathways
We’re currently accepting postdocs who hold external fellowships. Each program has its own timeline—please contact Aviad well ahead of the deadline so we can explore a strong proposal together. If you’re considering the Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship, reach out to Rohan Dahale or Kevin McKinnon for firsthand perspective, and email Aviad early to coordinate support letters and project scoping.
