This eight-week program provides a unique opportunity for interns to engage in meaningful research projects that contribute to large-scale international computer-adaptive tests (CAT). Interns will gain hands-on experience with operational workflows while developing a deep understanding of the practical considerations necessary when bridging research with impactful outcomes. Under the guidance of our staff, each intern will select a research topic that aligns with their interests and the organization's needs. As part of their collaboration, interns will be responsible for a presentation to the examinations team, along with the development of a conference submission proposal and/or a research paper for publication. NCSBN values diversity and encourages applications from students of all backgrounds.

The emphasis of this program is to gain hands-on experience in data processing, sophisticated and modern analysis techniques, and the practical application of computer science and machine learning in the realm of testing and assessment. Interns will work closely with testing professionals to learn about the intricacies of data management, analytics in a real-world setting, and valuable understanding of how data-driven decisions are made in professional contexts. Additionally, each intern will undertake an exploratory research project, allowing them to apply their learning in a focused area that aligns with their interests and organizational goals. We are particularly interested in the utility of modern natural language processing techniques, such as using generative AI or large language models to assist in evaluating free-form hand text or assist in developing and evaluating exam questions. Additional project options include, but not restricted to, the following areas: Test security Computer vision Natural language processing Latent class/cluster analysis Latent time-series analysis Data exploration and visualization Process/log data analysis Large language models We invite graduate students currently enrolled in Masters or Doctoral programs in measurement, statistics, computer science, cognitive science, or related fields to apply for this unique opportunity.

    Research and development internship job in Chicago, IL

    Job Description NCSBN Examinations Department Internship Program NCSBN is excited to offer two summer internship positions: a Psychometric track and a Computer Science/Machine Learning track. Applicants are encouraged to apply to one or both tracks depending on research focus. It is expected that applicants would be advanced graduate students, particularly those in the later stages of their studies in educational measurement, statistics, computer science, cognitive science, or related fields. This eight-week program provides a unique opportunity for interns to engage in meaningful research projects that contribute to large-scale international computer-adaptive tests (CAT). Interns will gain hands-on experience with operational workflows while developing a deep understanding of the practical considerations necessary when bridging research with impactful outcomes. Under the guidance of our staff, each intern will select a research topic that aligns with their interests and the organization's needs. As part of their collaboration, interns will be responsible for a presentation to the examinations team, along with the development of a conference submission proposal and/or a research paper for publication. NCSBN values diversity and encourages applications from students of all backgrounds. We are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where interns can gain practical skills in CAT and licensure and certification exams. Detailed project descriptions will be discussed during the interview process. Interns can anticipate an engaging experience that bridges academic research with real-world applications. Program Goal The goal of the internships is to provide an opportunity to gain practical experiences and a comprehensive understanding of the process involved in both applied research as well as producing and delivering operational examinations. We offer the following two internship tracks: Psychometric Track The psychometric track provides interns with extensive operational experience that spans the entire life cycle of test development. Interns in this track will collaborate with testing professionals to learn about the development and administration of the NCLEX exams, acquire knowledge on the dynamics of a CAT exam, and engage in discussions about current measurement topics. Additionally, they will be tasked with developing a research project. We are particularly interested in detecting parameter drift for PCM model parameters, as well as other psychometric procedures to evaluate the operational polytomous items. Additional project options include, but not restricted to, the following areas: Polytomous item scoring and analysis Technology-enhanced items CAT Test Design Standard setting for innovative items Fit statistics for Partial Credit Model Test security Parameter drift for polytomous items Process data analysis Graduate students who have completed at least two years of doctoral-level coursework in educational measurement, statistics, computer science, or related fields are encouraged to apply.

Interns will have the opportunity to uncover hidden patterns and insights, transforming raw data into useful information for stakeholders and decision makers. The emphasis of this program is to gain hands-on experience in data processing, sophisticated and modern analysis techniques, and the practical application of computer science and machine learning in the realm of testing and assessment. Interns will work closely with testing professionals to learn about the intricacies of data management, analytics in a real-world setting, and valuable understanding of how data-driven decisions are made in professional contexts. Additionally, each intern will undertake an exploratory research project, allowing them to apply their learning in a focused area that aligns with their interests and organizational goals. We are particularly interested in the utility of modern natural language processing techniques, such as using generative AI or large language models to assist in evaluating free-form hand text or assist in developing and evaluating exam questions. Additional project options include, but not restricted to, the following areas: Test security Computer vision Natural language processing Latent class/cluster analysis Latent time-series analysis Data exploration and visualization Process/log data analysis Large language models We invite graduate students currently enrolled in Masters or Doctoral programs in measurement, statistics, computer science, cognitive science, or related fields to apply for this unique opportunity.
