Looking for a few good statisticians!

Looking for some paid extra work? Have a keen eye for stats and data science? Want to you use your powers to help improve STEM education? I'm looking for 1-2 dedicated students for paid positions to help with data analysis for some NSF funded research projects! Responsibilities include processing and sanitizing survey data, running multivariable regression models, and identifying statistically significant differences between data sets taken at different times. The underlying projects are designed to help tease out the effects of mental wellness on retention in engineering and computer undergrads, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on student mental health; so passion for mental wellness is a plus. Desired qualifications include: experience with R and popular R packages (including ggplot2), logistic regressions, good written and verbal communication skills, able to show proof of work eligibility to Cal Poly Corporation. Undergrads and Grad students are eligible. To apply, please send a letter outlining your qualifications and your resume (including relevant coursework) to adanowit@calpoly.edu!

MATH 290: Introduction to Research
Cuesta College

In this fun, low stress course you will work with a team of other students led by your instructor in actual open mathematical or statistical problems. These problems might come from a variety of sources, including prestigious journals by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). Although collaboration and problem solving are the emphasis of the class, you will also get a chance to learn LaTeX, the standard typesetting program for research journals worldwide. If the team is successful, you will have a chance to publish your results or see your name published in a prestigious international journal such as The College Mathematics Journal by the MAA.

Meets Wednesdays 5-6:15pm, 9/27/21-12/17/21.

Please email Math instructor Guillermo Alvarez Pardo with questions at guillermo_alvarezpar@cuesta.edu.
