Undergraduate Internship

Syntony research & engineering Applications open

AI safety research and engineering for undergraduate students.

About the internship

The Syntony Undergraduate Internship gives students experience in AI safety research and engineering through a mentored project.

Interns work on a defined question, develop research or technical skills, and produce work they can explain and evaluate. Projects are matched to your background, interests, and stage of study.

01 / Project areas Research and engineering

Projects cover technical and interdisciplinary AI safety. Each placement begins with an agreed scope, learning goals, and an output suited to your experience.

• 01
  
  Research

  Review literature, assess sources, organize evidence, and communicate findings on AI risk, governance, or the human consequences of AI.

• 02
  
  Engineering

  Work on evaluation methods, reproducible experiments, data analysis, or research tools, with technical guidance appropriate to the project.

• 03
  
  Project outputs

  Produce a research brief, documented experiment, prototype, or another agreed contribution. Mentoring includes feedback on your methods, findings, and how you present the work.

02 / Eligibility and terms Undergraduate program

You should be currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree and interested in AI safety research or engineering. Relevant coursework, personal projects, and research experience help us identify a suitable project.

This internship is Syntony’s undergraduate program. The Engineering Fellowship is for graduate students and people who have completed graduate study.

Humanitas is a separate interdisciplinary research fellowship focused on human rights, evidence, governance, and human security.

Compensation, duration and schedule will be agreed in writing before you accept a placement.

Your project scope, supervision arrangements, location, and participation requirements will also be confirmed before acceptance.

Publication, attribution, and intellectual-property terms are agreed at the outset. Any commercial client work requires a separate paid agreement.
