Science Communication Intern - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: The OSPO seeks a student to assist with communications and outreach efforts. Our vision is to be an accessible resource for developers, learners, and researchers alike who want to code in the open. As the OSPO is committed to removing barriers in the open source community, we encourage students from historically underrepresented groups to apply. This intern will report to the OSPO Outreach Specialist.
Internship duties will include interviewing open source practitioners for our Faces of Open Source spotlight, developing OSPO content for the Data Science Updates newsletter, crafting OSPO messaging for various audiences, assisting with publicizing events and initiatives, updating the OSPO website with news items, and additional projects and duties as assigned.

encapsulr - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: encapsulr is a new R package being developed to address a specific reproducibility problem: research artifacts published through platforms like Posit Connect can become inaccessible when funding lapses or infrastructure changes, a kind of "link rot" for research code. encapsulr gives researchers a lightweight way to package an R project into a fully self-contained, citable, and archivable object before that happens.
The package takes a three-pronged approach, built around three composable functions. encapsulate() wraps an existing package I've also authored, containr, to generate a self-contained Docker image of an R project, isolating its code, R version, packages, and system libraries. describe() wraps the rocrateR package to generate standardized RO-Crate metadata describing the project. archive() wraps zen4R to deposit the packaged project to Zenodo and mint a DOI. A fourth function, preserve(), orchestrates all three in sequence for a one-command archival workflow.
encapsulr is currently early-stage: the package DESCRIPTION and dependency structure are drafted, and the validation strategy (comparing RO-Crate metadata rather than raw file checksums to confirm reproducibility) is settled. Implementation of the core functions has not yet begun; the project mentor is intentionally sequencing this behind the stabilization of containr, which encapsulate() depends on directly.

scikit-matter - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: The Cersonsky lab is looking for an OSPO intern to participate in the development of scikit-matter (https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/scikit-matter), a collection of machine learning utilities emerging from the materials science and chemistry communities. Interested interns will gain experience in mathematics and its connections to atomistic machine learning as well as data representations of molecules, and they will work closely with a researcher with a background in this area. The primary responsibility will be integrating a new sample selection algorithm and its dependencies into the scikit-matter platform, which will involve managing and creating pull requests, creating examples with atomistic datasets, and updating documentation. Since scikit-matter is designed to be compatible with the widely used machine learning library scikit-learn, the intern will also learn the scikit-learn API and become familiar with the scikit-learn codebase as well. There will also be opportunities for exposure to the current research taking place in the lab, including topics in molecular crystallization, glassy dynamics, battery electrolyte design with ionic liquids, and chemistry informatics.

pubdata - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: To support the work of the mentors research team, they have developed "pubdata": an R package that provides a minimalist interface to a wide range of publicly available datasets in a standardized tidy table form. In it's current state, the package is fully functional and the research team use it internally for raw data ingestion across multiple research projects.
This package was presented in a lightning talk at the 2026 Data Science Research Bazaar.
To make this package more useful for the research team and for a broader research community, the project mentor is am continuously adding new datasets to the collection, and the project could benefit from an additional contributor.

Open Source Toolbox for Analyzing Frequency Following Responses (FFRs) - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: In this study, we will develop an open-source hardware and software to acquire neural responses to stimulus pitch. This device is envisioned to be an open source closed-loop device that can record and neural responses and classify stimulus information based on neural responses. This project combines biomedical engineering, computer sciences, and electrical engineering approaches to develop theses tools. The study will also involve validation of the developed tools to ensure that they provide reliable research quality data.
Currently we have a prototype that can stream EEG on an evaluation borad connected to an arduino.
We have build a brain-to-stimulus classification ecosystem using Deep neural networks in python.
An incoming OSPO intern needs to work on synchronizing the stimulus presentation with real-time EEG, and run Deep Neural networks and obtain inference in real-time.
