└── README.md /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # AI Opportunities in Academia 2 | Resources for undergraduate and graduate students looking for solid academic opportunities in AI. 3 | 4 | Some of these programs are not explicitly centered on AI/ML/DL, but still offer the perfect opportunity to study AI. For example---Stanford's CSLI institute brings together language, psychology, and philosophy---but its members regularly publish in top NLP conferences such as EMNLP, ACL, etc. MIT's MSRP program covers a broad range of disciplines, but you can be matched with a faculty member in CSAIL. 5 | 6 | ## Contributing 7 | Contributions are welcome and much appreciated! Please open a pull request with information in a similar format as below. Please link directly to the internship information website. 8 | 9 | ## Internships 10 | Generally, Google something like "[REU research experience for undergraduates artificial intelligence](https://www.google.com/search?q=REU+research+experience+for+undergraduates+artificial+intelligence&oq=REU+research+experience+for+undergraduates+artificial+intelligence)" to find academic internships. 11 | 12 | ### Universities 13 | - **UC Berkeley** - [Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research at Berkeley](https://eecs.berkeley.edu/resources/undergrads/research/superb) (SUPERB) 14 | - Undergrad only 15 | - **UC Berkeley** - [Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence](https://humancompatible.ai/jobs) 16 | - **Stanford** - [Center for the Study of Language and Information Summer Internship](https://www-csli.stanford.edu/csli-summer-internship-program) (CSLI) 17 | - NLP 18 | - Undergrad only 19 | - **Carnegie Mellon University** - [Human Computer Interaction Institute Summer Research Program](https://hcii.cmu.edu/summer-research-program) 20 | - Computer vision, human understanding, NLP 21 | - Undergrad only 22 | - **Carnegie Mellon University** - [Robitics Institute Summer Scholars](https://riss.ri.cmu.edu/) 23 | - Reinforcement learning, computer vision 24 | - Undergrad only 25 | - **Carnegie Mellon University** - [SURF](https://www.cmu.edu/uro/summer%20research%20fellowships/SURF/) 26 | - Paid research for any topic 27 | - Undergrad only 28 | - **Mila** - [Year-round Internship](https://mila.quebec/en/admission-process-for-interns/) 29 | - Led by Yoshua Bengio (one of the 3 "fathers" of DL) 30 | - Grad or undergrad 31 | - **MIT** - [MIT Summer Research Program](https://oge.mit.edu/graddiversity/msrp/) 32 | - Undergrad only 33 | - **University of Southern California** - [Robotics and Autonomous Systems](https://www.cs.usc.edu/reu/) 34 | - Undergrad only 35 | - **University of Southern California** - [Institute for Creative Technologies](https://ict.usc.edu/internships/) 36 | - Undergrad only 37 | 38 | ### Research Labs 39 | - [Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships](https://science.osti.gov/wdts/suli) (SULI) 40 | - Machine learning for energy and physics research at various national institutions, e.g. Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, etc. 41 | - [Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute](https://www.mbari.org/products/educational-resources/mbari-summer-internship-program/) (MBARI) 42 | - Underwater robotics 43 | - Grad or undergrad 44 | - [NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory](https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/intern/apply/) 45 | - Grad or undergrad 46 | - Space robotics, autonomy, aviation 47 | - [NASA Ames](https://intern.nasa.gov/) 48 | - Grad or undergrad 49 | - Space robotics, autonomy 50 | 51 | ### Tech Industry 52 | If you have an AI background, the big tech companies can most likely match you to a publishable AI project. You don't need to be in a dedicated AI program at these companies to land a project in AI. 53 | - Google, Facebook, Microsoft, NVIDIA 54 | - Allen Institute for AI 55 | 56 | ## Scholarships 57 | - [Barry Goldwater Scholarship](https://goldwater.scholarsapply.org/) 58 | - Undergrad sophomore or junior 59 | 60 | ## Fellowships 61 | These are better Googled, but here is a short list. 62 | - NSF GRFP 63 | - NDSEG 64 | - Hertz (extremely selective) 65 | - Ford 66 | - specifically for those interested in teaching 67 | - [Open Phil Fellowship](https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/global-catastrophic-risks/potential-risks-advanced-artificial-intelligence/the-open-phil-ai-fellowship) 68 | - Fellowship by the Open Philanthrophy Project 69 | - Grad (PhD) only 70 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
