encapsulr - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research Data Science Institute $15.00-17.00 UW Student Jobs
encapsulr - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: encapsulr is a new R package being developed to address a specific reproducibility problem: research artifacts published through platforms like Posit Connect can become inaccessible when funding lapses or infrastructure changes, a kind of "link rot" for research code. encapsulr gives researchers a lightweight way to package an R project into a fully self-contained, citable, and archivable object before that happens. The package takes a three-pronged approach, built around three composable functions. encapsulate() wraps an existing package I've also authored, containr, to generate a self-contained Docker image of an R project, isolating its code, R version, packages, and system libraries. describe() wraps the rocrateR package to generate standardized RO-Crate metadata describing the project. archive() wraps zen4R to deposit the packaged project to Zenodo and mint a DOI. A fourth function, preserve(), orchestrates all three in sequence for a one-command archival workflow. encapsulr is currently early-stage: the package DESCRIPTION and dependency structure are drafted, and the validation strategy (comparing RO-Crate metadata rather than raw file checksums to confirm reproducibility) is settled. Implementation of the core functions has not yet begun; the project mentor is intentionally sequencing this behind the stabilization of containr, which encapsulate() depends on directly.

scikit-matter - OSPO Spring 2027 Internship Program summary: The Cersonsky lab is looking for an OSPO intern to participate in the development of scikit-matter (https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/scikit-matter), a collection of machine learning utilities emerging from the materials science and chemistry communities.

The primary responsibility will be integrating a new sample selection algorithm and its dependencies into the scikit-matter platform, which will involve managing and creating pull requests, creating examples with atomistic datasets, and updating documentation. Since scikit-matter is designed to be compatible with the widely used machine learning library scikit-learn, the intern will also learn the scikit-learn API and become familiar with the scikit-learn codebase as well. There will also be opportunities for exposure to the current research taking place in the lab, including topics in molecular crystallization, glassy dynamics, battery electrolyte design with ionic liquids, and chemistry informatics.
