Spring 2022 Applications
The Data Science Undergraduate Studies student teams' applications for Spring 2022 are now CLOSED. Please check back next semester for more opportunities! Email ds-teams@berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
Before you apply:
Please note that our application consists of two required components:
- Your team application(s) — note that you may apply to as many teams as you like, but if you are offered a position on multiple teams and are new to working for DSUS, you may only select one.
- Your Applicant Supplemental Form.
To access the team application, please read through the job descriptions for each position (linked below) — the application links are located on the job description page for each position. All required application components are due by the same application deadline: Saturday, November 13th, at 11:59pm. Below we have illustrated our updated application process.
Please read through the job description and responsibilities for the positions you are interested in before applying. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds and skill levels to apply!
Please direct any questions to ds-teams@berkeley.edu.
After you apply:
Each semester, we receive hundreds of applications to process and review, so please be patient as we review all candidates. Interviews will be conducted in late November and early December.
As a reminder, your application will not be considered if you do not complete both your team application(s) and your Applicant Supplemental Form.
If you believe you may have made an error on any of your applications, please contact ds-teams@berkeley.edu. In order to maintain fairness for all applicants, we cannot guarantee that any errors or changes will be fixed once the application period has ended. We recommend you review your applications before submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Updated November 4, 2021
Will these positions be remote or in-person?
Postions will vary from remote to in-person depending on the team. Please contact us at ds-teams@berkeley.edu for more specific inquiries.
I will be located out-of-state or out-of-country for the Fall semester. Am I still able to apply?
If you will be located outside of California:
You can still apply! If you receive an offer with us and decide to accept, you must agree to follow all of our policies in compliance with campus around reporting out-of-state work or your out-of-state address on all necessary platforms (i.e. CalCentral) for tax implications. You must also fill out an out-of-state work agreement via Docusign which your supervisor will provide during the onboarding process.
If you will be located outside of the U.S.:
University of California as an employer does not yet have systems in place to ensure compliance requirements are met, therefore the UC expects paid employees to conduct work within the United States at this time.
BUT, we are recruiting for a few roles on a volunteer basis and these roles are open to students outside of the U.S..
Are any research positions available for Spring?
The Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society has a program focused on research called the Discovery Research Program. Please check their website for the most up-to-date information and deadlines.
The Division also has a pilot program called Discovery Exchange, which links together students for independent data science resarch. Learn more about the program at the Discovery Exchange website.
Where can I find more information about a team or specific position?
You can find information about all of our teams on our Student Opportunities page. You may also find it helpful to review the Data Science Undergraduate Studies' Student Teams Structure Chart before applying. More information about specific positions, job descriptions, responsibilities, and qualifications for each position are posted below.
Are there any work-study positions available?
Yes — all paid positions are eligible for work-study, and there is no separate application for work-study applicants. If you receive an offer with us in a paid role and decide to accept, we will contact you about whether you want to use work-study (you must be work-study eligible) for this particular role. If you choose to use your work-study, we will send you an offer through the Work Study Management System, which you must accept in a timely manner so that your work-study can be processed in time.
Where can I access the Applicant Supplemental Form?
After you complete your application(s) for all teams that you are interested in, you must also complete our Applicant Supplemental Form for your application to be considered complete. If you do not complete the Applicant Supplemental Form by the application deadline, your application will NOT be considered.
