Closed Role

Research Engineer Intern (Reopens in Spring 2025)

As a research engineer intern here, you will work very closely with our researchers on projects in fields such as Trojans, Adversarial Robustness, Power Aversion, Machine Ethics, and Out-of-Distribution Detection. We will assign you a dedicated mentor throughout your internship, but we will ultimately be treating you as a colleague. By this we mean you will have the opportunity to debate for your own experiments or projects, and defend their impact. You will plan and run experiments, conduct code reviews, and work in a small team to create a publication with outsized impact. You will leverage our internal compute cluster to run experiments at scale on large language models. We hope you will view this opportunity as the start of a long-term collaboration with CAIS.
