Description
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.

These skills will translate well into writing applied chapters in your dissertation and provide you with work experience that may help you with placement.
