Mathematica Careers
We’ve paused our Summer Internship Program and will not be accepting applications this year. If you would like to be notified of full-time openings that align with your interests, please set up job alerts on our careers page.
Internship Program Overview
In our annual internship program, Mathematica welcomes undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students to participate in a 10-week paid summer internship program designed to enhance academic and professional skills. During the internship, students are paired with a mentor and collaborate closely with Mathematica staff in a dynamic and supportive environment, contributing to both organizational and client projects. Throughout the summer, there are opportunities for career mentorship, networking with current Mathematica employees, and meeting with Mathematica’s senior leaders. Interns also take part in professional development sessions and social events, as we aim to provide a rewarding and engaging experience.
Internship opportunities may be available in business areas covering health, human services, and global topics, as well as in our internal administrative operations unit. Interns in our business areas will be assigned to projects based on divisional needs in addition to career interests, prior experience, and skills. Internship roles may include research, evaluation, consulting, or technical positions in data science, computer science, or analytics. For students interested in administration or internal operations, we often provide opportunities in project management, communications, human resources, legal, IT, accounting and finance, business development, and more.
Previous interns have gained hands-on experience contributing to various project tasks including:
- helping to develop interactive online dashboards for Mathematica clients
- utilizing programming software for regression models
- contributing to executive summaries for reports and issue briefs
Eligibility
- The internship program is designed primarily for current full-time students completing their bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degree.
- Interns should be interested in Mathematica’s mission to improve public well-being and its work in support of evidence-based decision making.
Application Process
Internship opportunities are generally offered during the summer.
Completed applications will include a cover letter describing your interest in our organization, a resume or CV, and any additional documents required for specific internship roles.

"When I was an intern, my Mathematica co-workers were just as kind and respectful as they would be to a regular-status employee. After joining the team, I worked on a wide range of tasks, including proposals, tracking research progress, and suggesting new areas of research for our company to expand into."
