There are several types of projects, but are all related to the use of AI, or ML in psychosis or autism. In certain projects the students will be exposed to working with research participants, and collective intelligence. In others, they will be working with large dataset. The work can be largely remote. The students get to choose which project they join. The students can have their own paper (thesis/publication) as part of this collaboration. Responsibilities: Work directly with research participants on tasks, analyze data, code, paper writing, among others. Requirements and Expectations: Three hours a week+ or depending on the project needs are required from the student. Previous coding (e.g., Python/R) experience is required for certain projects, but there are other projects that do not have this requirement. Additional Information: Positions are unpaid. Depending on the choice of the project the work can be fully remote or might involve some visits to the HMS campus. To Apply: Reach out to wyassine@bidmc.harvard.edu. (posted 9/2026)
