We are looking for detail-oriented, organized, and responsible individuals who are eager to learn how to apply their causal inference / structural econometrics skillsets to solve real world problems. The intern will work in the area of Store Economics and Science (SEAS) and develop models to SEAS. Our PhD Economist Internship Program offers hands-on experience in applied economics, supported by mentorship, structured feedback, and professional development. Interns work on real business and research problems, building skills that prepare them for full-time economist roles at Amazon and beyond. You will learn how to build data sets and perform applied econometric analysis collaborating with economists, scientists, and product managers. These skills will translate well into writing applied chapters in your dissertation and provide you with work experience that may help you with placement. About the team The Stores Economics and Science Team (SEAS) is a Stores-wide interdisciplinary team at Amazon with a "peak jumping" mission focused on disruptive innovation. The team applies science, economics, and engineering expertise to tackle the business's most critical problems, working to move from local to global optima across Amazon Stores operations. SEAS builds partnerships with organizations throughout Amazon Stores to pursue this mission, exploring frontier science while learning from the experience and perspective of others. Their approach involves testing solutions first at a small scale, then aligning more broadly to build scalable solutions that can be implemented across the organization. The team works backwards from customers using their unique scientific expertise to add value, takes on long-run and high-risk projects that business teams typically wouldn't pursue, helps teams with kickstart problems by building practical prototypes, raises the scientific bar at Amazon, and builds and shares software that makes Amazon more productive.
