  • Flexible hours, ranging from 10 to 15 hours per week.
  • Learn new skills while contributing to the changing world of AI across various disciplines.

  • At this time, we are unable to accommodate candidates on STEM OPT who require an i-983. Fellows with already approved i-983s, as well as those on pre-grad OPT, CPT, J-1, or H-1B, are not impacted. This position may be subject to change in the future.
