What we are looking for
Strong grasp of the technical foundations of generative AIExperience training, fine-tuning and evaluating modelsInterest in how these systems behave with real users, not benchmarks
02 — Internships

Interns, Fall 2026

We are looking for interns in two areas for the coming semester. Both work on live projects alongside the researchers running them.

Fall 2026

Clinical Psychology

For interns training or qualified in clinical psychology, to work on the lab's mental health and screening research — study design, participant sessions and analysis.

Fall 2026

UX Design

For interns who want to run real design research: field work, prototyping and usability testing on live projects rather than exercises.

03 — If you are a student here

The usual way in

Take one of our courses, then come and talk to us about the project you want to take further. Most of the researchers here started exactly that way, and a good number of those projects ended up published.
