Integrated within the data science team, the intern data scientist will work on data projects directly related to Ardian's portfolio assets (ie industrial companies in various sectors such as renewable energy, transportation, retail, healthcare etc.) as well as more transverse projects within the company (such as generative AI, etc.) This position requires a certain degree of autonomy, always accompanied by regular supervision from other data scientists and team managers. It also offers direct exposure to the management of the concerned companies, as well as current issues of decarbonization and sustainable development. Depending on the workload and the intern's interests, they may also work on topics related to the fund's more general investment and asset management activities.

Get Access To All JobsData Scientist CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Data Scientist internship automatically qualify for CPT?
Not automatically. Your school must determine that the position is an integral part of your curriculum, meaning the work ties directly to your degree program's learning objectives. A data science role at a tech company qualifies in most STEM programs, but you'll need your DSO to review the offer letter and confirm the connection before authorizing CPT on your I-20.
Can I do full-time CPT as a Data Scientist without affecting my OPT eligibility?
You can do full-time CPT, but 12 months or more of full-time CPT eliminates your OPT eligibility entirely. Part-time CPT, regardless of how many semesters, doesn't count against OPT. If you're weighing a full-time Data Scientist CPT role against preserving post-graduation OPT, discuss the timing with your DSO before accepting the offer.
What documents do I need to start a CPT Data Scientist job?
You need an updated I-20 with the CPT authorization entry listing your employer and start date, your current passport, and your F-1 visa stamp. Your employer will also require a Social Security Number for payroll, which you can apply for once you have the CPT-authorized I-20. Some employers request a copy of your SEVIS record or an enrollment verification letter as additional documentation.
How do I find Data Scientist employers who are familiar with CPT hiring?
Migrate Mate lets you browse Data Scientist roles filtered by employers with F-1 and work authorization hiring history. Companies that have consistently filed Labor Condition Applications for data roles are more likely to have HR processes in place for CPT paperwork, which reduces back-and-forth during onboarding.
Does my Data Scientist CPT role need to match my exact degree title?
The match needs to be substantive, not literal. A Data Scientist role involves statistical analysis, machine learning, and computational modeling, which is accepted as integral to programs in computer science, statistics, data science, and related quantitative fields. Your DSO makes the final call, so bring the job description to them early. Roles requiring primarily business intelligence or reporting with minimal modeling may receive closer scrutiny.
