Note on Hiring

Thank you for your interest in joining our group. We are always on the lookout for highly motivated and talented people to work on optimization. Please review carefully the guidance below and submit this application form if you’re applying for a position. While we encourage you to contact us with any inquiries, please be aware that due to the high volume of emails, we may not be able to offer individual responses.

Internship

We highly recommend all prospective students to participate in an internship with us before formally applying to the graduate program. While direct application is an option, pursuing an internship first is the most common route for successful applicants:

Summer and Winter internships are available. All internships start at the beginning of off-term times (mid-June for Summer, early-January for Winter) and are expected to last at least two months (ideally longer). Applications are accepted until one month prior to the start of each internship (i.e., May for Summer and November for Winter). Selected candidates will be invited for an interview shortly after the deadline.

🔔 Applications for 26 Spring internship will be received until 31 March 2026. See this Google Docs for more information.

Graduate Program

We take on a few new graduate students each year. Please apply directly to either the AI or CSE department, and mention our PI in your application. Once you pass the screening phase and reach the advisor-matching stage, please email PI (namhoon.lee@postech.ac.kr) and also submit this form.

Postdoc

We're actively looking for postdocs who are interested in advising students with us in our lab. If you have completed your PhD recently or are finishing it soon, please feel free to email PI.
