SUDS Internship Opportunities

Through SUDS Industry Opportunities, undergraduate students, who are interested in exploring data science as a career path have an exciting opportunity to engage in an internship with a SUDS Industry Partner.

Student applications open in mid-December.

Highlights

  • Four months internship from May to August
  • All SUDS students participate in SUDS data science skills and professional development activities, and present their projects at the SUDS Showcase in August
  • SUDS Industry Partners are invited to present to DSI SUDS Scholars and DSI Fellows as part of the Data Science @ Work Series.

SUDS is an ideal way to get involved in a high-quality and enriching data science opportunity and to experience applications of data science methods and tools in a range of sectors.

The Data Sciences Institute is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from racialized persons/persons of colour, women, Indigenous / Aboriginal People of North America, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ2S+ persons, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
