Professional Development Program (PDP) – Data Science Class of 2020
Where the Chemistry Happens…

BASF's Data Science Professional Development Program (PDP) is created to provide highly motivated, mobile-minded current university students an opportunity to enhance their professional skills through a variety of diverse learning experiences. Participants will contribute to real-world rotational assignments within different domestic locations. They will explore career options and develop technical and professional decision-making skills, while fulfilling specific business needs. Participants also have the opportunity to assess their capabilities, skills, and interests and gain valuable exposure to BASF's culture, values, and decision-makers.

You start as a member of a leading edge team with expertise in Data Science, Statistics, and Operations Research - Advanced Business Analytics (ABA). Advanced Business Analytics co-creates and delivers innovative data-driven solutions for better business decisions through mathematical modeling. These solutions are developed and delivered in collaboration with all business and functional units (including Procurement, Production, Supply Chain, Planning & Controlling, Marketing & Sales, and Finance).Two subsequent rotations offer the perspective of implementing applications in our operating, manufacturing or research divisions.

Responsible for leveraging mathematics to propel paradigm shifts across the entire company, the incumbent will support the initiation, execution, and completion of projects in the areas of Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Optimization to increase business profitability and reduce costs.

The incumbent will be ‘hands-on’ and work on projects, to execute deliverables during all phases of an analytics project, starting from project definition to completion. Deliverables will include the development of the appropriate mathematical models, collaborating with members from other functions to gather and validate the necessary data, and presenting the project results and benefits to key stake holders and internal clients. Also, communicating the ideas and solutions of advanced business analytics to a broad community of non-mathematicians and acting as a driving force in international and interdisciplinary project teams will be a key success-factor.
