Computer Vision Research Intern

***
* Please note:

This position is exclusively for the Fall 2026 internship term****

Our research team works on cutting-edge projects in the field of computer vision (CV) and artificial intelligence (AI) - helping machines perceive, understand, and reason about the world around them. We are looking for a passionate and talented intern to join our research team. The ideal candidate is highly motivated with broad knowledge in CV/AI, and with demonstrated ability for new technology research and a proven record of influential publications in related fields.

The intern will have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of researchers in the exploration of advanced techniques and contribute to the projects.

• Conduct original research in computer vision, including but not limited to spatial intelligence and reasoning (e.g. 3D/4D scene understanding, reconstruction, embodied perception, vision-language models, multimodal generative modeling, etc.), from conceptualization through implementation and evaluation.
• Identify state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques, performing systematic literature reviews and benchmarking existing methods to inspire new ideas.
• Conduct experimental studies and refine solutions based on qualitative evaluation and quantitative metrics.
• Write research papers and publish findings in top-tier CV/ML conferences and journals.

• Deep understanding of computer vision and machine learning fundamentals; experience with 3D vision, geometric reasoning, or embodied AI is a plus
• Strong programming skills in Python and hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, etc.
• Proven experience in conducting original research in computer vision, with at least one publication in a peer‑reviewed journal or conference
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to contribute to academic publications and present research findings
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within a team
• PhD student in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related field

Hourly interns pay range: $18 to $59, depending on degree‑seeking academic program (PhD, Master’s, Bachelor’s, etc.), years of relevant experience, year in school, geographic location, credentials, qualifications, and other job‑related factors.

Housing allowance and relocation benefit might be provided to intern candidates who meet the qualifications. Additional details on the compensation package will be provided to candidates during the interview process.
