  • Passion for research and a strong foundation in [relevant skill/domain].
Interested students apply here. This position is only available for UG/ PG students from IIITD. We are looking for students to work on our exciting projects in their honors year. Please review our projects and let us know where you want to work. We can also create an entirely new project for you if needed. Just get in touch with us for an informal discussion.

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.

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.

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.
