Use your research depth on a question that matters to a real user. You will join a scoped project with a named mentor and realistic resources.
Not open yet: Research program
This work starts when that stage arrives, so there is no application to submit today and we will not pretend otherwise. What is written below is what the role is for and what would make somebody right for it, published early on purpose so you can decide whether it is worth watching.
The work
Develop an experiment in systems, hardware, security, learning or human interaction. Agree research objectives, evaluation and publication expectations early. Participate in technical reviews and leave a reproducible artifact the team can continue using.
The milestone
By the end of the agreed paid placement, deliver a tested result, documented code or methods and a presentation that explains the limitations.
Evidence
Bring doctoral-level research preparation or an equivalent advanced research track appropriate to the project. We value clear thinking, integrity and collaboration alongside technical depth.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Discuss a research project you know deeply and propose a smaller experiment that would resolve its largest uncertainty.
