Facebook Announces Ph.D. Fellowship Program

Facebook today announced the creation of its Facebook Fellowship Program for Ph.D. students in the upcoming 2010-2011 school year. This is a way for students to get free hands-on experience and a way for Facebook to get some smart outside labor (and maybe, a way to find future hires?)

“Every day Facebook confronts among the most complex technical problems,” according to the new program’s new web site, “and we believe that close relationships with the academy will enable us to address many of these problems at a fundamental level and solve them.”

Specifically:

  • Internet Economics: auction theory and algorithmic game theory relevant to online advertising auctions.
