## Project goals

[Washington University in St. Louis](https://wustl.edu/) is looking for an intern to help develop new approaches to Ph.D. student recruitment. Its [Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences](https://dbbs.wustl.edu/Pages/index.aspx) (DBBS) is the umbrella organization supporting interdisciplinary graduate education in the biosciences. It serves nearly 700 students and a similar number of faculty affiliated with DBBS. One of its core functions is admissions, where a key goal is to recruit a target number of students for each of 13 graduate programs without exceeding an overall threshold. DBBS is aiming to transition to a more informatics-driven process of forecasting returns to better manage the number and timing of offers to applicants.

## Project approach

Tim Holy, a Julia developer and Professor of Neuroscience, started the project by creating a core set of analytic and forecasting routines. There are two urgent needs: (1) to integrate the analytics with DBBS’s existing SQL database for real-time access to data, and (2) to develop browser-based visualizations of the forecasts to assist DBBS staff in final decision-making. There may also be opportunities to improve or extend the existing analytics.

## Project details

The intern will be paid $15/hr and have the opportunity to be coached in Julia development by Tim. The project is on a tight timeline and must be ready to roll out, at least in preliminary form, by late December 2021.

[Sorry for the digression but many would pay, and more than that, to have such an opportunity]
