NVIDIA is seeking outstanding Research Interns to join the Data-Driven AI for Robotics (DAIR) group. The focus is on learning embodied skills from large-scale human data. Our objective is to develop AI systems that capture, understand, and reproduce complex human motion and interaction skills across physical and digital embodiments, including humanoid robots and animated characters. Our research spans the full stack: reconstructing human motion and human-object interactions from video; generating diverse, controllable character behaviors; transferring motion across embodiments; and training physically grounded controllers for humanoid robots and interactive virtual characters. You will collaborate with a passionate and supportive research team that consistently produces influential work published at leading computer vision, machine learning, graphics, and robotics conferences. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with world-class research and product teams across NVIDIA, following our strong “one-team” culture. What you'll be doing: Innovate and implement novel AI algorithms that transform large-scale human data into controllable motion and interaction skills across physical and digital embodiments. Develop robust, scalable training and inference pipelines for motion reconstruction, generation, retargeting, and character and robot control. Build methods that transfer human skills to humanoid robots, including whole-body loco-manipulation and dexterous manipulation. Maintain a close, collaborative relationship with your mentor(s). Publish your research findings at leading computer vision, machine learning, graphics, and robotics conferences. Partner with product teams to enable effective technology transfer of your work. Research Topics Include: Human motion and human-object interaction reconstruction, synthesis, and generatio
About Us: AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal. Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now. Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale. We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role: We are looking for PhD research interns with strong research experience in reinforcement learning, machine learning, and foundation models, including large language and multimodal models, to join our research team. This internship is well suited to candidates interested in improving existing methods and developing new techniques for large-scale model training, optimization, and inference, extending models to long-context and long-horizon tasks, and improving inference-time efficiency, reliability, and robustness in high-stakes real-world deployments. Preferred Qualifications: Currently pursuing a PhD in computer science, machine learning, or a related field. A demonstrated record of research in reinforcement learning, machine learning, foundation models, or related areas. Experience developing and evaluating large-scale models or machine learning systems. Familiari

Datadog AI Research — Scholars Program with Carnegie Mellon University Datadog AI Research (DAIR) is partnering with Carnegie Mellon University to support a small number of PhD students working on open research problems grounded by ongoing efforts at Datadog/DAIR. You will frame a problem, run your own experiments, and write up what you find, with compute and data at a scale most academic labs cannot provide. You will collaborate with colleagues working on the same questions. The Lab And The Research: DAIR is an industrial research lab motivated by practical challenges in observability and software operation: detecting and diagnosing failures, understanding complex production environments, and helping engineers operate software more effectively. The lab focuses on creating specialized foundation models, post-training and evaluating AI agents, and building frontier-scale machine learning systems. By combining fundamental research with Datadog's large-scale, real-world data and infrastructure, the lab develops new AI capabilities and translates them into practical systems with meaningful impact. Internship projects are shaped with your DAIR mentor and your CMU faculty advisor. You do not need prior experience with observability, monitoring, or infrastructure. What You'll Do: Own a research project end to end: framing the question, running the experiments, writing it up Work directly with a DAIR mentor engaged in the same problem, and stay connected to your advisor and lab Publish, and use the work toward your dissertation See research reach production, when it works Who You Are: Currently enrolled in a PhD program at Carnegie Mellon in machine learning, computer science, statistics, or a related field Depth in at least one area relevant to the research above Comfort running real experiments — training models, working with GPUs, reading and reimplementing recent papers Evidence you can do research: conference or workshop papers, preprin
