Internships/ Visiting positions
Internships and visiting positions are generally open during the summers (May – July) or winters (Dec – Jan). We may also have the option of a virtual internship if any requirements arise. The internships are unpaid. However, they provide several benefits, including working closely with lab PhD students, co-authorship on academic research papers, recommendation letters, and the opportunity for further study at the Creative Interfaces Lab.
Project openings will be advertised here. At present, we are not accepting internship applications.
You can email your CV and Portfolio to us with the subject [Internship] or [Virtual Internship], and we will contact you if any requirement arises.
New Media Artists
We invite artists who are enthusiastic about exploring emerging technologies to explore creative expressions using XR technologies or physical computing. Just get in touch with us for an informal discussion.
Senior Secondary/ High-school student
We have received numerous inquiries from Senior Secondary School students interested in working at the Creative Interfaces Lab. As an experimental initiative, we are open to hosting a select number of students for a week during the summer (May/June) or winter (Dec/Jan) at a mutually convenient time. This program aims to raise students’ awareness of Design and HCI and introduce them to new technologies. High-school students may also apply.
