We are no longer accepting applications for the DSTL Lab this year. Thank you for your interest, and stay tuned for when applications open again! {% comment %} Apply here!
Applications to join the DSTL Lab are now open for Fall 2025! We invite undergraduate and Masters students of all years to apply. Here's what to expect.
Info session: We held an information session from 11am-12pm on October 2nd in the HDSI MPR. Recording of the info session and slides are available.
The application process: Written applications are due by 11:59pm October 3rd. We will interview candidates between October 8-10, and final decisions will be made by October 14.
Qualifications: In our research group, we think about teaching data science and create software to make that process better for instructors. We're looking for teammates who:
- Love teaching! We spend lots of time thinking about teaching and learning data science to make that process better for both instructors and students.
- Enjoy programming. We also spend lots of time writing code to create new tools that instructors and students can use in the data science classroom. We primarily write Python and JavaScript.
Commitment: We are looking for teammates who can commit at least 10 hours per week for the upcoming academic year from Oct. 14, 2025 to June 7, 2026.
What will I work on? This year, the lab will split into 3 teams working on separate projects. We'll meet once per week to update each other on project status. Our projects this year will be broadly centered around using GenAI for teaching programming and data science, including deploying an AI tutor for DSC 10 and building a dashboard for instructors to understand student chatbot logs.
