Facebook Graduate Student Fellowship

Facebook has announced a pretty nice graduate student fellowship program.  The first three reserach areas they mention are:

• Internet Economics: auction theory and algorithmic game theory relevant to online advertising auctions.
• Cloud Computing: storage, databases, and optimization for computing in a massively distributed environment.
• Social Computing: models, algorithms and systems around social networks, social media, social search and collaborative environments.

(Hat tip to TechCrunch.)

Google has its own graduate Fellowship program (Nicolas Lambert got the 2009 Fellowship in “Market Algorithms”.)
