Internship Students

NB. The following description applies to everybody who seeks internship opportunities at our lab (both under the NII International Internship Program and otherwise). It is not recommended to write directly to us: we may simply miss your correspondence, and we will respond only when there is a visible strong relevance.

Internship Schemes

Option 1: the NII International Internship Program

Our institute NII offers internship opportunities to MSc and PhD students affiliated with institutes with MoU agreements.

Calls are made twice a year; your application should be made to your institute, not directly to NII or to us. However, contacting me (as your prospective internship supervisor) before filing an official application is highly recommended.

After your application, the ultimate selection is by NII, not by me personally. Nevertheless, NII does ask me about my preferences.

Option 2: with Other Funding (from Your Institute or Ours)

This is possible if a strong relevance is found. Please follow the instructions below for contacting us. (NB: the schedule is tied to the NII International Internship for the purpose of bookkeeping.)

Contact Guideline

I tend to get contacts from many candidates. Please use this form for contacting me. If your first contact is by email, there is a big chance that I’ll miss it.

Deadline (for Filling the Form)

10 days before the official NII deadline (e.g. Oct 24 for the 2022 2nd call).

  • The deadline is for every candidate, regardless of for Option 1 (NII Internship) or Option 2 (other funding).
  • I will examine your material and contact you by a week before the NII deadline.
  • For Option 1 (NII Internship): in your application to your institute, you can have a list of 3 topics, ordered by your preferences. Therefore contacting other prof’s as well is recommended, in case we don’t find a good match between your background and our topics.
  • In case you didn’t make it for the above deadline, please consider the next call. Calls are made twice a year.

Questions

Feel free to ask me questions in advance, although my replies tend to be late. Send them to (i.hasuo [at] acm.org) with the subject “NII Internship Inquiry.”
