In addition to applying through the official application portals, please contact Prof. Kleinberger and Prof. Hirskyj-Douglas at applications@interactanimallab.com for interviews. Please prepare for 30 min to talk in-depth about a) your technical expertise, b) one impressive and representative project from the past, and c) your concrete ideas and broad vision about potential Ph.D. projects that fit into the mission of our lab.

We look for students who have both rigorous technical backgrounds and imaginative visions to bring creativity and interdisciplinary thinking together.

GENERAL OPPORTUNITIES

We are interested in hosting visiting scholars/artists and student interns across disciplines, both domestically and internationally. Depending on the projects’ needs and ones’ previous experiences, these could be either paid or non-paid positions.

Typically, researchers hired under specific funded projects with matching expertise are paid or partially paid; Junior researchers and students may participate in existing research voluntarily; International visiting scholars and students are often self-funded or funded by their home institutions.

For research productivity, we encourage at least 6-month commitments, especially for international visitors.

Please contact us at applications@interactanimallab.com to apply.

We welcome undergraduates from Northeastern, Glasgow, MIT, and other universities, who are interested in gaining research experience in designing, deploying, and evaluating animal technologies. Please note that we generally discourage short-term projects (single semester) since a significant amount of training is required before participating in one of our research projects. Students interested in long-term (one year or more) intensive research projects are encouraged to contact us at applications@interactanimallab.com

Undergraduates may participate in research voluntarily in the lab. However, to seek funding or course credits:

• Northeastern undergraduates can look for funding opportunities with resources such as your co-op coordinator, the AJC Merit Research Scholarship Program or other support from your department.

• Glasgow undergraduates can look for internal support

• MIT undergraduate can seep opportunities withe the UROP office

For undergraduates outside of Northeastern, Glasgow, and MIT, you may seek funding opportunities from your home school.

If you are a caretaker, and your believe the animals under your care could benefit from participating in one of our future studies, please fill out our study interest form
