We are currently NOT recruiting any PhD students, undergrads, Master’s, interns, etc.

When positions are available we are interested in recruiting is select topics, particularly students with a strong background in: reinforcement learning, natural language processing, machine learning, and general deep learning engineering.

Some resources to help potential PhD applicants:

• An overview of the UCSD CSE PhD Program.
• SOPs: A list of Statements of Purpose (SOP) from previously successful applications. There’s heavy selection bias here so take these with a grain of salt, it is totally fine if you don’t have as many papers or as much research experience.
  • Honest advice: When you write an SOP, the MOST IMPORANT thing is to have a tiny bit at the end that details specifics about why this lab over all others. How do your research interests align with the lab’s? Emails (or SOPs) with generic “I want to do RLHF” or worse “I want to ML and NLP” will not get very far.
• Letters of Recommendation: Video on how to request one by Casey Fiesler here.
• UCSD Application Fee waiver here.
• Other UCSD Grad application FAQs here.
