Data Science Intern

As a Data Science Intern, you will do real data science work in support of our mission to discover, inspire, and train the great problem solvers of the next generation. Paired with a data scientist mentor, you will frame questions, build and evaluate models, analyze experiments, and present findings to the teams who act on them.

We hire for data sense, not a specific major. Strong data scientists come from economics, psychology, education, linguistics, and the humanities as well as math and computer science. What matters is that you can work with data in SQL and Python, reason carefully about what it does and does not tell you, and explain what you found.
