*About Mathematica*



Mathematica is dedicated to improving public well-being by bringing the
highest standards of quality, objectivity, and excellence to bear on
information collection and analysis for our partners and clients. The
company has been at the forefront of assessing the effectiveness of
policies and programs for over four decades. Our studies and analysis have
yielded information to guide decisions in wide-ranging policy areas.





*Eligibility*


   - The fellowship is designed for full-time students who are within two
   years of completing their doctorate degree and will not graduate prior to
   beginning the fellowship.
   - Fellows should have a strong interest in learning more about working
   in a non-academic environment.
   - During the fellowship period, fellows are required to work in a
   Mathematica office location for at least three days per week (and are
   encouraged to work in an office location for as many work days as possible).



Mathematica takes pride in its commitment to diversity and inclusion
<https://www.mathematica-mpr.com/career-opportunities/diversity>
