The posting

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.

The Data Science Intern will:

  • Own a scoped data science project from question to recommendation under the guidance of experienced data scientists
  • Use SQL and Python to gather, clean, explore, and validate data
  • Build and evaluate statistical and machine learning models, with attention to their assumptions and limitations
  • Analyze and separate real effects from noise and bias
  • Write reproducible, documented code and participate in code reviews
  • Present findings to the Data team and to stakeholders through clear visualizations and recommendations
  • Use AI tools to accelerate your work while critically evaluating their output
  • Complete other tasks and responsibilities, as assigned

The ideal candidate has:

  • A bachelor's or graduate degree in progress in any field
  • Hands-on experience using Python (e.g. pandas, polars, scikit-learn, matplotlib) and SQL to work with data, through coursework, research, or personal projects
  • Experience in statistics, including hypothesis testing and regression
  • Strong data sense: you ask where data came from, what it leaves out, and whether it actually answers the question
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical results to non-technical audiences and to give and receive constructive feedback

Why Join AoPS:

This is a 40-hour per week paid internship with a pay rate of $30 / hour. The internship will take place in summer 2027 and will be based at our headquarters in San Diego, CA.

  • Impact: Do real data science on questions that shape how the next generation of problem solvers learns
  • Mentorship: Weekly 1:1s with a data scientist mentor
  • Flexibility: Casual work environment with a hybrid work week and flexible scheduling
  • Future Planning: 401K with company match
  • Quality of Life: Paid Sick Leave
  • Ease of Transition: Relocation bonus (if currently located outside of San Diego)

Background Check:

Please note that employment is contingent on the successful completion of a background check.

Work Authorization:

Please note that in order to be considered for this position you must be legally authorized to work in the US. We are unable to offer sponsorship, including STEM-OPT and H-1B.

About AoPS:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
