Internship Application Guidelines
| Duration: | Three months or longer on a full-time equivalent basis, working five days per week. The start and end dates are negotiable. Depending on the project, participation from one month may also be possible. However, for overseas interns who require a visa, the internship period should, in principle, be at least three months. |
|---|---|
| Working Hours: | Full-time or part-time. Part-time arrangements, such as working three days per week, are negotiable. A 45-minute break is provided. Weekends and national holidays are days off. |
| Location: |
Applicants residing in Japan may choose either a fully remote arrangement or a hybrid arrangement combining office work and remote work. Due to legal restrictions, participation in the internship program remotely from outside Japan is not permitted. Applicants residing outside Japan are expected to stay in Tokyo and work from the office. In such cases, travel expenses will be covered by the company. For some research themes, office attendance may be required. |
| Compensation and Benefits: | For full-time interns, the monthly salary ranges from JPY 240,000 to JPY 480,000. For part-time interns, compensation will be calculated on an hourly basis. Depending on the working conditions, the company will provide full coverage for social insurance, transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, and other necessary costs. A computer will be provided, and expenses required for research activities will be fully supported. |
| Language: | Japanese or English. English-only communication is also acceptable. |
| Other Support: | Research will be fully supported by two or more mentors with extensive research experience. Interns will have access to computational resources, including GPU-equipped workstations, servers, and cloud environments, as well as robotic facilities, including robot arms, various sensors, 3D printers, motion capture systems, and other prototyping and experimental equipment. |
| Selection Criteria: | Hiring decisions and compensation will be determined based on the applicant’s past research and development achievements, as well as discussions regarding the background, challenges, and possible solutions related to the research theme of interest. |
| Important Notes: |
After a hiring decision is made, administrative procedures require at least two months before the internship can begin for domestic interns, and at least five months for overseas interns who require a visa. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply well in advance. When applying for the internship, please refrain from including personal information such as your address, phone number, or nationality. Please submit your CV as a URL with appropriate viewing permissions enabled. |
