Join us in transforming the future of AI and human interaction.
What you'll be doing:
* Decompose research questions into smaller, more manageable parts and tackle them in iterative steps.
* Think critically to identify unseen gaps, and creatively bridge them with non-traditional, high-impact solutions.
* Connect with researchers and product engineers to ground research findings in real-world problems.
* Lead knowledge dissemination effort, with options for conference, journal, and in-house publication.
What we need to see:
* Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the field of Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
* Experience in gaming and/or human behavior in related application domains, demonstrated by one or more lead-author publications.
* Examples of public portfolios (e.g. repositories, OSS contributions, notebooks, packages, or technical blog posts with code).
* Proficiency with Python, Rust, and/or C++.
* Experience with AI model training and evaluation frameworks, like PyTorch.
* Comfortable with modern software development and version-control systems (e.g., GitHub/lab).
* Familiarity with and interest in modern deep learning models, including working with large-scale, multi-modal foundation models (such as recent LLMs, VLMs).
* Strong understanding of deep learning fundamentals and recent trends.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
* Experience with multi-node, multi-GPU training and inference workflows.
* Proficiency in crafting, implementing, and conducting behavioral experiments involving human subjects and interactive visual stimuli.
* Experience with quantitatively modeling human perception, movement, and decision-making.
* A track record of applying human behavior models to machine learning applications.
Our internship hourly rates are a standard pay based on the position, your location, year in school, degree, and experience. The hourly rate for our interns is 30 USD - 94 USD.
You will also be eligible for Intern benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 3, 2025.
