What is DSSGx?

It is a 12-week programme to train aspiring data scientists to tackle projects that really matter with solutions that work. Working closely with governments and nonprofits, a cohort of fellows take on real-world and learn from mentors coming from industry and academia. Please see this short video for an overview of DSSG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOEBEEaurHg&feature=youtu.be


Role?

Technical Mentors and Project Managers are a critical component of the Fellowship. Mentors are experienced data scientists with strong technical skills, practical experience, with an interest in mentoring students to learn real-world skills and make a social impact.


Mentors work with a dedicated team of Fellows and provide hands-on technical mentoring and data science expertise to the projects. Each mentor leads (typically 2 or 3) teams of Fellows (3-4 people each) and serves as a project lead and technical adviser. Each Mentor is teamed up with a Project Manager who leads the relationship with the project partner as well as makes sure the team is moving forward. Mentors also help us teach workshops and tutorials over the summer and are an integral part of the organizing team. Basically, we’re looking for experienced, smart, and passionate unicorns who want to make a social impact working with Fellows and our project partners over the summer.


When?

This role will be for 14 weeks between 8 June – 11 September 2020.
