ASA's 2024 Internships Listing

 Dear students,

If you have your sights set on securing an internship in the near future, I'm thrilled to share some valuable resources with you.

ASA's 2024 Internships Listing

First and foremost, I'd like to inform you about that The American Statistical Association (ASA) has recently released their 2024 Internships Listing.

Additional Resources

Find more internship opportunities through two other rich resources:  MustangJOBS and  Linkedin.    Summer internships often have application deadlines as early as December-February, so I strongly encourage you to make the most of your break by preparing your application materials.   Schedule an appointment with Career Services to receive invaluable guidance on landing an internship, including resume/cover letter review and assistance in your internship search.  Career Services also offers excellent online resources, such as their Job and Internship Search page and their Resource Toolkit.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Florida Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science (SIBDS) 2024

 Please see the announcement below:

Have you ever wondered how data are used to make your life better?  Any thought as to why COVID-19 affects certain populations more than others? What are clinical trials, why are they important, and how do we interpret evidence?

If you are an undergraduate or early graduate student with a curious mind, sense of justice, and some statistics, math, technology, biology and/or health science coursework, you are eligible for Florida’s Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science Program (SIBDS). SIBDS is a Training Program funded by NIH. It will take place at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Boca Raton campus from May 20^th  through June 28^th, 2024, with faculty from FAU, University of Miami, and Florida International University. Students enrolled will be housed at FAU unless they live close by, and will receive a stipend (not a salary) to cover most expenses. 

Participation in SIBDS will provide great hands-on experience in conceptualizing research questions, determining and executing appropriate analyses, and interpreting results from three Projects using real data. In addition to networking with renown faculty, you will also learn and apply skills regarding scientific communication and cultivate opportunities for further internships. Please join us and you’ll see why in 2022 the U.S. News & World Report ranks ‘statistician’ as the 3rd top Business job, offering competitive salaries, limitless opportunities, and a healthy work-life balance. Careers in biostatistics and data science provide you with the tools to help change the world!

FAU demonstrates and supports a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion, and encourages a teaching approach using equitable and inclusive pedagogy.

 

We have rolling admission and the last date of APPLICATION completion is March 15^th, 2024. Please use the link below to APPLY:

What is the Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science program? The Summer Institute in Biostatistics (SIBS) and Data Science is sponsored jointly by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The comprehensive six to seven week summer training course on biostatistics and principles of data science combines classroom learning with career mentoring and hands-on data analysis using data collected from clinical studies in prevention and treatment of infectious, immune-mediated, and chronic diseases. Designed to address a growing imbalance between the demand and supply for biostatisticians and data scientists, the course targets undergraduates and beginning graduate students who are interested in learning about biostatistics, and encourages them to consider graduate programs related to biostatistics and data science. The typical curricula include an intensive introduction to biostatistical approaches and research by exposing participants to the principles, methodologies, uses, and applications of statistical methods in biomedical and clinical research.

Let's Play a Game: Gnome on the Roam

 

Hello all,

We want to play a game with you all. Ever heard of Elf on the Shelf? We have one better for you! How about Gnome on the Roam! Please meet our Stats Gnome (see pic below)- they will be traveling throughout the Stats department admin area (think admin office, student areas, conference room, and main hallway leading to those areas). Please come look for them, snap a pic of you and the gnome and send us your pic as proof that you found them (who knows, we may just do a picture wall of fame!). We will continue to move the gnome to new locations as they get discovered!

 

Annnnnnnnnd go…..

Summer Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Accelerator (SUMSA) | Applications Due Feb 17, 2024

Please see the opportunity below from the Institute of Mathematical & Statistical Innovation (IMSI):

Dear Department of Statistics,

I am writing to let you know about a fully-funded summer opportunity intended to help prepare undergraduate students for graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The program will take place at the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI), which is located at the University of Chicago.

 

IMSI is a mathematical sciences research institute funded by the National Science Foundation. Our mission is to apply rigorous mathematics and statistics to urgent, complex scientific and societal problems, and to spur transformational change in the mathematical sciences and the mathematical sciences community.

 

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Accelerator (SUMSA) is an eight week mathematics and statistics bootcamp for undergraduates which will take place June 10 - August 2, 2024. The program’s aim is to help prepare students for the rigors of graduate school through lecture series and problem sessions.  It will cover core material in linear algebra, advanced calculus, metric spaces, probability, statistical modeling, and data science.  This program is open to students who will be rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors at U.S. colleges and universities and will be at least 18 years old at the time the program begins.

 

Participants should have had a full year of calculus (or equivalent experience), gained some familiarity with computational linear algebra (including representation of linear transformations by matrices, matrix algebra, and determinants), and had some experience with mathematical proofs by the time the program begins. Students who have already taken theoretically rigorous courses in both linear algebra and analysis are most likely not a good fit for this program.

 

I’d appreciate it if you could pass this information along to any students whom you feel might be interested. Further information and the application are available on the program’s web page.  Applications are due by February 16, 2024.

 

Questions can be emailed to sumsa@imsi.institute; please note that this email is sent from an unmonitored box.

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Kevin Corlette

Director, Institute for Mathematical & Statistical Innovation

PCCTC Data Science Internship

Please see the attached internship opportunity from Dr. Shannon Pileggi with the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC). Shannon is a former faculty member of our department and is especially interested in Cal Poly students. 

We are hiring another Data Science intern this summer, please circulate among your students. The student must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program and be enrolled in school for the term after they complete their internship (so not open to graduating seniors). Happy to answer any questions!
