SAS Summer Intership!(for PhD students)

SAS Summer Fellowship in Statistics

The statistical software development division at SAS is pleased to announce the fourth annual SAS Summer Fellowship in Statistics Program for the summer of 2011. Open to doctoral candidates in statistics, biostatistics, and related graduate departments in the United States, the fellowship offers the opportunity to work closely with professional statisticians who develop software used throughout the world. The Statistical Fellow will contribute to activities such as research, numerical validation and testing, and documentation. The program thus provides the graduate student with an excellent opportunity to explore software development as a career choice.
Eligible candidates must have completed at least two years of graduate work by the end of the spring semester of 2011 and must have demonstrated experience in statistical computing beyond the routine classroom use of statistical packages. We are particularly interested in candidates with a combination of computational and research experience in one of the following areas:
·     Bayesian computing
·     Propensity score matching methods
·     Structural equations modeling
·     Missing data analysis
·     Functional data analysis
·     Statistical graphics
·     Reliability analysis
·     Finite mixture models
We are also interested in candidates with experience using distributed and parallel methods for statistical computing.
The program provides a salary and stipend for a twelve-week internship at SAS headquarters in Cary, North Carolina, during the summer of 2011. SAS is located in the Research Triangle area, which encompasses three leading universities – Duke University, the University of North Carolina, and North Carolina State University – and is also the home of the National Institute of Statistical Sciences and the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute.
To apply, interested candidates should visit the SAS Summer Fellowship in Statistics Application page.

The deadline is February 1, 2011, for the application and two letters of recommendation from faculty members. The selected candidate will be notified by March 1, 2011.
If you have any questions about the program, please send an email to statfellow@sas.com.
