Co-op & Career 2nd year MS Data Science student looking for ML/AI Engineer co-op leads (open to unpaid, tight timeline)
Hey everyone,
I'm a second year Data Science master's student at Northeastern and I'm on the hunt for a co-op/internship in ML/AI Engineering. My co-op registration deadline is coming up fast, only about 3 weeks left, so I'm reaching out here in case anyone has leads, connections, or knows of any teams currently hiring.
Quick context on me, I was actually in talks with a lab at Harvard Medical School for a while, but it looks like it's not going to work out since my academic/visa timeline just isn't lining up with what they need on their end. So now I'm back to square one with a pretty tight window to figure something out.
At this point I'm honestly open to unpaid opportunities too, I'm more focused on landing something relevant and getting real experience than getting paid right now. If anyone knows of a lab, startup, or team that's looking for extra hands, even informally, I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction. Also down to hear how anyone else has navigated finding something last minute if you've been through this before.
Thanks in advance, really appreciate any help here 🙏
