COVID-19 Data Analyst Graduate Internship

Orange County Health Department is looking to hire a full-time graduate Data Analyst Intern, either a current student or a recent grad, to help us with COVID-19 response. The intern would work remotely but under supervision from a member of the COVID Task Force. The intern will work on responding to questions from the community by phone and email, and then create trend analyses of the types of questions, frequency of communications, and common needs and misconceptions to help us in planning. The position will work closely with members of the COVID Task Force and Joint Information Center on other data analysis projects as required.

At the end of the project, we’d like to get an analysis of what happened, what the public wanted to know, and where some pain points were, as well as recommendations for planning in the future.
