Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Positions available: 1-4 (1-2 teams of 1-2)

LUCA Theory is looking to partner with a talented student[s] to contribute to our collective intelligence data analysis. We're looking for someone who is diligent and tactful to be able to help us manage data pipelines, build visualizations and run analysis.


This role is for someone who is looking to get their foot in the door at an early-stage startup with the opportunity to grow.


LUCA is a collective intelligence startup based out of Montreal. We are committed to helping power decision-making in a variety of fields with our goal to overcome cognitive biases and be less wrong. We primarily work remotely and get together for key sessions when it dictates.


About the Role


We are continuing to evolve our data analysis strategy, increase our impact in the collective intelligence market and improve our product offering. To expand our ability to generate novel insights and identify superforecasters within our platform, we are eager to partner with a student to assist with our collective intelligence data analysis.


To support our data analysis we are looking for a student to contribute to the following:

* Clean event data from recent collective intelligence contests to make uniform;

* Perform data analysis on datasets with the eye to identify superforecasters and prepare to build artificial intelligence algorithms;

* Contribute to the development of an automated backend and overall rapid response algorithm;

* Assists in general database management and organization.


This role may be split up amongst a pair of students/teams, depending on profiles and mandates.


About You

You are an undergrad, master's student, MBA or otherwise passionate student looking for a new opportunity to add to your portfolio.


You have a strong knowledge of data analysis platforms, an active portfolio and a keen analytical mind.


You have the ability to learn new platforms quickly and easily.


Most of all, you are consistent, reliable and a strong team player. You know that there is no one right answer and that leveraging everyone's insights is the most powerful way to achieve success.


Why join LUCA

We're at an inflection point in our growth and have the opportunity to evolve rapidly. Given our ability to execute remotely, while making the power of in-person meetings when we get them, you can feel confident you are joining a team that can help advance your career goals, while contributing to the success of the company.


We are a young team with diverse backgrounds always eager to connect, share and grow with our collaborators.


This opportunity will be what you make it, starting out as a volunteer role with the opportunity to evolve into more!
