This internship role offers a unique opportunity to work at the Data Science Innovation Hub at ARTPARK and to contribute to disease management in the country. ARTPARK is working with the National One Health Mission at the central government, with the vector-borne disease control program at the state, and at the municipal level across multiple states and cities to support capacity building and inform policies for disease management. In this role, you will get an opportunity to work with leading disease modelling experts, engineers, and public health experts nationally and internationally in a highly motivated setting.
Responsibilities:
-
Organise and analyse health, geospatial and other related data from multiple sources into a form usable by computational models
-
Contribute to the development of robust and scalable statistical and machine-learning models for the goals identified in the project.
-
Consolidate findings and prepare reports to effectively communicate insights.
-
Collaborate with data and engineering teams to develop data visualisations and the integration of these visualisations into a dashboard.
Who can apply?
