The Data Science Internship Program focuses on increasing the availability of data science talent in the life sciences. The program creates well-paid internships for qualified candidates, including those at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral levels, by enabling research institutions and companies to hire paid interns. The program connects employers with prospective interns through an online platform and reimburses eligible companies and research institutions for intern stipends. Companies with greater than 100 full time employees (FTE) in Massachusetts are also encouraged to use the portal to search for talent, but reimbursements will not be available for intern stipends.
How the Program Works: Prospective interns skilled in computational biology, bio- statistics, physics, biology, chemistry, economics, etc. with strong computational skills and an interest in applying data science to health outcomes are encouraged to submit an online application, including a resume and identifies data skills/tools. There’s no application deadline since placement is rolling. Host organizations review applications and contact candidates directly if interested in hiring them for an internship. Internships are paid, up to four months and can be part- or full-time
