Join Us

Bring a question. Leave with a paper.

We are always looking for motivated students and researchers. Members join an active project from day one and work it through to a submission.

01 — Open Positions

Recruiting for Fall 2025.

CAAI is accepting new members for the upcoming academic term. Two tracks are open, and both place you on a live project rather than a training exercise.

Track 01

Graduate Research Assistants

PhD and Masters students with a strong background in machine learning, taking ownership of a project's method and evaluation.

Track 02

Undergraduate Research Interns

Juniors and seniors with Python experience and a genuine interest in AI, working alongside a mentor on implementation and experiments.

02 — What we look for

Programming ability and research patience.

  • Python, fluently. You should be comfortable writing and debugging your own code, not only running someone else's notebook.
  • PyTorch or TensorFlow. Enough familiarity to implement a method from a paper and train it.
  • Research aptitude. Reading papers carefully, forming a question, and staying with an experiment when the first three runs fail.
  • Follow-through. Projects run for months. We care more about members who finish than members who start fast.

03 — How to apply

Three steps.

Questions

Not sure you're ready?

Most of our members weren't when they started — that is the point of a guided lab. Read what the lab does and who is in it, then write to us anyway.
