Description
The Biocomplexity Institute's Social and Decision Analytics Division’s Data Science for the Public Good (DSPG) program is a summer program for undergraduate and graduate students. DSPG brings together and engages students on research projects that address state, federal, and local government challenges around social issues relevant in the world today. Participants conduct research at the intersection of statistics, computation, and the social sciences to determine how information can be leveraged to inform public policy. The program equips new generations of scientists, engineers, and scholars of all disciplines with the skills they need to inform evidence-based decision-making for the public good.
These paid positions will be in person at the Biocomplexity Institute's location in the Rosslyn Neighborhood of Arlington, VA.
