Job Description

The Dynata Data Science Team is seeking a data science intern in their Washington D.C. area office or remotely for the summer term. Interns with the Data Science & Predictive Analytics team will participate in all aspects of work at Dynata. In an environment where a “long-term” project lasts one or two weeks, no two days are the same. You'll be sitting in on meetings and working on multiple projects, writing call scripts that are used in hundreds of thousands of calls, streamlining our current workflow, and creating statistical models to meet the needs of our clients, just to name a few. You'll be doing the work that a full-time employee does. We'll match what you're good at with what you enjoy and what we need.

Our internships are mostly geared towards those still in school, whether undergraduate or graduate students as well as recent graduates. We don't guarantee full-time employment after an internship, but we're a growing team and are always looking for bright, hard-working talent. If you're looking for a full-time job, this is a good first step and puts you ahead of the competition!

Qualifications:

• Must be able to learn quickly and juggle multiple projects with moving deadlines.
• Must have strong analytical skills.
• Must have at least one course in quantitative research such as statistics or applied research.
• Must have courses or experience in machine learning, data mining, regression, generalized linear models, experimental design, and/or GIS
• Must have killer Excel skills and be incredibly competent in Word, PowerPoint
• Must have experience in R or Python - both are a plus!
• Experience with computer programming is a plus.
• Experience with statistical modeling is a plus
   

We handle a wide variety of projects and use many different technologies and programs to meet our clients' needs, so our culture here is one of constant learning and curiosity, while doing things the right way. We boast office space in a beautiful building on the Old Town Alexandria waterfront near the yellow and blue Metro lines, with no cubicles. If you work remotely with us, you will be provided with a company issued laptop and the same training, tools and support offered to our in-office staff. If you live by the work hard, play hard philosophy, then you'll be a great fit with our team.
