Good afternoon,
My name is Aurora Cruz-Torres, and I am the Project Manager of the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI) Internship Program. I am reaching out to share information about our program, which is hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It matches Ph.D. students in mathematics or statistics programs with companies and scientific laboratories in Champaign-Urbana, Chicago, and the surrounding region. Students spend two weeks in a skills workshop on computation and data science using Python and R, and they don’t need to have prior coding experience. Students will then be placed in internships for eight weeks. We strongly encourage women and students from historically underrepresented groups to apply. Interns receive a stipend from IMSI and a salary from the host company. I have attached a flyer for your convenience.
Feel free to advertise this opportunity to your community, and if you know of any Ph.D. students interested, please feel free to share my contact information below or have them contact inter...@imsi.institute.
Thank you,
Aurora Cruz-Torres, M.S., Ed.M. (She/Her/Ella)
