As a Data Science Intern, you'll identify frameworks for data-driven business challenges, transform datasets, run analyses, build machine learning models, and communicate results.
Data Science Interns at QuantCo will learn what it takes to create impact from data: identifying the right framework and questions to translate a business challenge into a statistical problem; locating and combining data sources as well as transforming large datasets; running in-depth analyses; building machine learning models that automate large-scale decisions and integrating them into live business processes; and interpreting, visualizing, and communicating results to internal and external stakeholders.
We are looking for team players who have excellent quantitative abilities and:
- A degree in economics, statistics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics, or similar fields at a leading university
- In-depth understanding of mathematical and statistical concepts behind most common machine learning techniques and an interest in causal inference questions
- Experience in coding and working with data (from a previous research or industry internship or extensive course projects)
- Ability to see solutions and opportunities that others do not see
- High level of commitment and reliability, good balance of pragmatism and perfectionism
- Business proficiency in English
Bonus if skilled in any of the following tools and/or languages:
- SQL
- Git
- Cloud infrastructure
