  • 13th Jul 2023

Internship

During internship, you will closely work with (and help) one of our graduate students on a pre-defined project (we currently do not have internship for new projects or intern-led projects). These projects are aiming for publication in the near future, and you will be invited to be a co-author if your contribution is deemed to be significant.

  • You are expected to commit 16 hours a week during the internship.
  • There will be a small amount of monthly stipend (KRW 520,000 per month) provided to the interns.
  • Default expectation is that you come to the lab two days a week, but can be adjusted with the mentor.

    • Recruiting

    We highly prefer applicants (1) who are interested in joining our lab as a future graduate student and (2) who can commit for at least 6 months.
    We run two recruiting periods within a year: summer and winter. Note that Winter Internship is our main internship program (which align well with Fall and Spring graduate school admission deadlines) and we hire more interns in winter than summer.
    The recruiting process includes paper screening and an interview.
    For summer and winter internships, the recruiting process is run in tandem with KAIRI (KAIST AI Research Internship).
    Please check out the KAIST AI homepage for the KAIRI opening information
