Research Intern - Extended Perception Interaction Cognition (EPIC)

Generative AI: Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision Language Models (VLMs), Stable Diffusion, video/world/action models, real-time models, multi-agent development, and related technologies Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) system building and agentic development: Experience building interactive prototypes with TypeScript, Node.js, and React, using coding agents and agentic workflows to accelerate development. Demonstrated programming and software architecture fundamentals are essential to guide agents, review generated code, and validate system behavior. Interaction design: experience with devising multimodal interactions (touch, pen, speech), context sensing, responsive & adaptive User Interfaces (UIs)

design: storyboarding, envisioning video techniques User Experience (UX) research: conducting qualitative and quantitative user studies Currently enrolled in a Doctorate Degree program in Computer Science or related STEM field.

In addition to the qualifications below, you'll need to submit contact information of references so we may contact these references if needed 1+ year(s)

conducting original research in (or closely related to) Human-Computer Interaction, and further be able to document their research contributions with publicly available resources (e.g. by linking to papers, pre-prints, videos, demonstrations, repositories, articles, press coverage, or research proposals in your submitted CV). Research Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world's best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer.
