Amazon is committed to exceeding customer expectations. In the Returns and Recommerce organization, we seek to improve customer satisfaction with the items they buy on Amazon, provide new value for our customers, and reduce costs to drive the holistic business flywheel.
The Return and Recommerce team is looking for an Economist intern with time series forecasting skills to join our cross-domain group of economists, applied scientists, and business intelligence engineers. We are looking for detail-oriented, organized, and responsible individuals who are eager to learn how to work with large and complicated data sets, and train and deploy time series forecasting solutions at scale. Knowledge of time-series forecasting as well as basic familiarity with either Python or R is necessary. Experience in Bayesian modelling or geospatial forecasting would be a plus.
These are full-time positions at 40 hours per week, with compensation being awarded on an hourly basis. You will learn how to build data sets and perform applied econometric analysis collaborating with economists, scientists, and product managers. These skills will translate well into writing applied chapters in your dissertation and provide you with work experience that may help you with placement.
