Internship Data Science
You have analyzed data during your study and you’ve predicted the future with multiple Machine Learning models. But you know that there is a difference between theory and practice and between the academic world and industry. You therefore want to gain experience what it’s like to work as a Data Scientist at a fast-paced start-up – and earn some money too. If this is the case, then you’ve come to the right place!
About Elysia
Elysia is a data-driven marketing company, providing data products and AI to CPG companies. We use predictive modelling to deliver actionable intelligence to enage in a personal matter with customers. Elysia is growing fast. We are hiring for several roles in multiple disciplines to scale up our operation.
Your role with us
For a couple of months you will work as a Data Scientist/Statistician at a fast moving start-up. You will get your own research project to build algorithms out of our data! We are happy to work things around other academic obligations.
You will be part of the Data Science team. It’s a small team of 5 people, which has the advantage that you will be in close contact with your colleagues, helping them (and learning from them) when you can.
Elysia will provide clear training in terms of the understanding of the raw data, the data engineering process including the algorithms logic and the initial Data Science efforts already implemented.
What else will you do?
The exact project you will work on will be determined by us, together with you. Some possibilities include:
- Selecting features for a classifier and then building and optimizing it using machine learning techniques.
- Analyzing big graphs with novel techniques.
- Extending the company’s data with third party sources of information.
- Processing, cleansing, and verifying the integrity of data used for analysis.
- Performing data analysis, extracting new insights and presenting results in a clear manner.
What are we looking for?
- A student of a study with a heavy emphasis on data analysis and data science. Can be Data Science, Computer Science, Quantitative Psychology, Physics, Mathematics or a related study.
- Good understanding of machine learning techniques and algorithms.
- Good programming skills.
- Familiarity in using Python
- Experience with data visualization tools.
- A self-starter willing to thrive in a start-up environment, who is interested in working in a high pace, high visibility organization.
- Experience with Bayesian Probabilistic Programming library (or language) such as PyMC, Stan or Pyro would be a nice to have.
- Experience analyzing big graphs is a nice to have too.
- You are living in the Netherlands, either studying or taking a break.
- You are legally allowed to work in the Netherlands.
What we offer?
This is your chance to join a dynamic data company where you’ll be part of a very ambitious and smart team on a mission. You’ll get all the benefits of working for an agile scale-up such as a relaxed work environment, the possibility to work from home, easy-going colleagues and freedom in your work.
