Human-Centered AI Research Intern, Human Language Models

The Team

This internship opportunity falls within the Adaptive Behavior Systems team of Human-Centered AI Division (HCAI). We are an integrated team of researchers with backgrounds in machine learning, the behavioral sciences, and human-computer interaction. At the core of our work, we aim to create technologies that prioritize human-centered outcomes and enable purposeful human futures.

The Internship

We are seeking a PhD research intern to join our Adaptive Behavior Systems team to push the boundaries of LLM-based human modeling and simulation. The intern will collaborate with our interdisciplinary team to study how language-based generative machine learning models represent human intentions and behavior and develop methods for evaluating how well these models capture individual differences and diverse human perspectives. The project will be focused on a specific sub-area of the overall research program. The intern will further engage in strategy discussions about how the research connects to business impact at Toyota.

This is a Summer 2027 paid 12-week internship opportunity. Please note that this internship will be a hybrid in-office role.
