Applied AI research opportunities for UofT students.
Paid applied AI research through Mitacs, a CV bank that UofT professors search when they need students, and a mailing list for new openings.
Get paid to work on applied AI research.
Mitacs Accelerate pairs an industry partner, a university supervisor and an intern on one research project. As the intern, you work on the partner's problem with your supervisor's guidance, and you are paid for it.
