Frequently Asked Questions
Updated March 31, 2022
Will these positions be remote or in-person?
I will be located out-of-state or out-of-country for the spring 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 you will be provided during onboarding.
If you will be located outside of the U.S.:
The 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 the summer?
The College 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 College also has a pilot program called Discovery Exchange, which links students together for independent data science research. Learn more about the program at the Discovery Exchange website.
