Make an Impact with Data Science
Bring your curiosity, technical skills, and bold ideas to Evernorth Health Services, a division of The Cigna Group. Our Data Science Center of Expertise internship is a foundational development opportunity for emerging data science professionals ready to apply advanced analytics to meaningful healthcare challenges. You will contribute to strategically important work, learn alongside compassionate experts, and explore how innovative solutions can improve health outcomes and business decisions.
This is more than a summer project. Intern-developed solutions have evolved into enterprise capabilities, been presented to senior leadership, and, in several cases, contributed to patented innovations.
What you'd do
- Develop and evaluate predictive, machine learning, natural language processing, or generative AI solutions that address complex healthcare and business challenges.
- Translate large, varied datasets, including claims, member information, call transcripts, surveys, and web logs, into insights that can improve member outcomes, experiences, and operational effectiveness.
- Partner with data scientists, engineers, business leaders, and clinical stakeholders to define problems, test ideas, and turn research into scalable solutions.
- Build clear, reproducible data pipelines, models, and visualizations using tools such as Python, R, SQL, Spark, or related technologies.
- Communicate findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and nontechnical audiences, including opportunities to present work to senior leadership.
- Apply a responsible, growth-oriented approach by seeking feedback, testing assumptions, documenting methods, and considering data quality, privacy, fairness, and model performance.
- Location: Interns are expected to work a hybrid schedule, spending three days per week in our Morris Plains, NJ, Austin, TX, or St. Louis, MO office and two days working remotely.
- Compensation: Hourly pay ranges from $35.00-$43.00, based on degree program, and year of study.
- Work Authorization: Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States and not require current or future employment sponsorship.
- Enterprise Intern Schedule: This is a full-time summer internship (40 hours per week) running from May 24 through August 13th
What they want
- Pursuing a master's degree or PhD in data science, statistics, applied mathematics, computer science, bioinformatics, computational linguistics, or another quantitative field.
- At least 1 year of hands-on data science or analytics experience gained through coursework, research, internships, or professional projects.
- Working knowledge of Python or R, probability and statistics, and data preparation, cleansing, and interpretation.
- Experience developing or evaluating analytical methods such as regression, decision trees, clustering, machine learning, text mining, or natural language processing.
- Ability to explain technical work clearly, collaborate across disciplines, and adapt based on feedback and new information.
