Join the Center

Due to limited resources, our team is relatively small. We house a director and three student data scientist positions.

Positions in the center do open regularly, so interested students are encouraged to reach out to our director, David Elzinga: delzinga@uwlax.edu.

What’s in it for you?

• This is a great opportunity to get hands-on with a real-world data problem. You can discuss your experiences on these projects when you’re searching for jobs.

• You get to give back to your community with your work making a real impact!

• You’ll gain valuable skills in programming, machine learning, statistics, data visualization, version management software (git), documentation, communication, working in a team, and more!

Funding wise, for the time being, these positions are generally unfunded (grant applications to change that are in the works). Funding may be possible with significant lead-time via internal scholarship applications.
