The new Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing (http://simons.berkeley.edu) will begin organizing semester-long programs starting in 2013.
One of our first programs, set for Fall 2013, will be on the "Theoretical Foundations of Big Data Analysis". The organizers of this program are Michael Jordan (chair), Boyd, Peter Buehlmann, Ravi Kannan, Michael Mahoney, and Muthu Muthukrishnan.
See http://simons.berkeley.edu/program_bigdata2013.html for more information on program.
The Simons Institute has created a number of "Research Fellowships" for young researchers (within at most six years of the award of their PhD) who wish to in Institute programs, including the Big Data program. Individuals who already hold postdoctoral positions or who are junior faculty are welcome to apply, as are finishing PhDs.
Please note that the application deadline is January 15, 2013. Further details are available at http://simons.berkeley.edu/fellows.html
