Internship

Expectations

We expect interns to participate in a predefined research agenda as a co-author, working closely with their PhD student host.

Supervision

Your day-to-day supervisor is the PhD student you apply to work with. They define the research direction, set milestones, and provide regular feedback. Joon is available for broader guidance but does not manage the internship on a daily basis. Choose your PhD student host carefully - your internship experience depends largely on this match.

Application process

1. Apply via the STAI application form, selecting your preferred PhD supervisor, with your CV and research statement attached
2. Coffee chat with the PhD student
3. Interview: 30 min + 30 min with the PhD student
   • First half: Present your prior work (aim for 10 minutes, leaving 20 minutes for discussion)
   • Second half: Discuss future research ideas at the intersection of your expertise and our vision
4. Offer
