About the job

Looking for *that* internship? The game-changing one that will help you learn, grow, and chart your path forward? You’ll find it at JMP (a subsidary of SAS)! Our interns aren’t coffee runners – they do real, meaningful work. Our award-winning internship program is focused on development, culture, and community. We’ll help you grow professionally, find (or further) your passion, and make memorable connections that last beyond the summer.

The JMP Life Sciences division improves all JMP products with advanced solutions in a wide number of fields, including causal inference, survival, genomics, clinical data science, and chemistry.

As an intern on the JMP Life Sciences team, you may:

- Program in R/Python/C++ or other proper coding language to build new/state-of-art causal inference workflows/methods.

- Explore algorithms that can be adopted to JMP, such as causal discovery, causal machine learning, LLM-based, or other cutting-edge methods.

- You are pursuing a Master’s or preferably a PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Data Science, Economics, Engineering, or other life-science-analytic focused major, not graduating prior to December 2027.
