Candidates should hold a PhD degree in engineering, physics, computer science, or applied mathematics. They should also demonstrate excellent research experience in their field, a strong publication record (comparing well with peers of the same seniority level), and the ability to do creative and significant research with a relative level of autonomy.

For internships

Our internships usually last a few months and are paid. Applicants should also demonstrate a strong background in statistics, linear algebra, signal processing, C/C++ programming, Perl and/or Python scripting languages, and Linux environment.
