Research Internship Program

Yes of course!

A committee of faculty and staff members review applications regularly and try to match applicants with faculty members. If there is a match, the faculty member(s) will contact you directly to follow up.

While we review applications as we receive them, we encourage you to submit your application by December 15th if you are interested in opportunities in the coming summer.

Many faculty members provide information about their research on their personal or lab websites. We do not maintain a list of potential projects at this point.

It depends on the research project. Many CS research projects can be perfectly carried out remotely. We have had several successful virtual internships in the past two years, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It depends on the research projects. A full-time internship can receive a stipend commensurate with that of doctoral students.

Yes! We have had international student interns both physically (pre-pandemic) and virtually (post-pandemic).

We used to do it before the pandemic. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Yale has stopped sponsoring visas for visiting international students. This may change as the pandemic situation improves, but only virtual/remote internships are possible for international students at this point.

It depends on the research projects.

No, you will be responsible for both.

In general, if you have not heard from any Yale CS faculty member, that means a match has not been found yet. If it has been six months or there is any significant change in your credentials, you are welcome to apply again. You should also feel free to directly contact faculty members that you are interested in working with.
