Qualifications
- Master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral students and graduates (including those currently enrolled in a master's or PhD program or in postdoctoral positions) in engineering or closely related fields.
- Able to participate in primarily asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.
- Believe your expertise can outmatch current AI systems in understanding and explaining key concepts in your field.
This program is open to U.S.-based doctoral students, candidates, and recent graduates with valid work or training authorization (e.g., F-1/OPT, J-1, H-1B).* Participants are responsible for ensuring compliance with their visa conditions and confirming eligibility with their program or visa sponsor prior to applying.
- At this time, we are unable to accommodate candidates on STEM OPT who require an i-983. Fellows with already approved i-983s, as well as those on pre-grad OPT, CPT, J-1, or H-1B, are not impacted. This position may be subject to change in the future.
