CEMSE’s Research and Evaluation team is looking for a data
visualization intern who can assist with the development of engaging
visual representations of the qualitative and quantitative education
data we have collected for an NSF-funded study on STEM schools (more
information on the study). We are looking for someone with a great
visual design sense, a sharp analytic ability, and the right
programming skills to be able to create customized visualizations.
This paid internship will go from July 1, 2012 – September 30, 2012.
The selected intern is not required to re-locate to Chicago for the
summer, and is welcome to work with our team virtually. Payment will

from 10-20.
If interested, please send a cover letter, resume, a few examples of
your work, and pay rate requirements to cheppner@uchicago.edu, with
