Summer Fellowship Opportunity with  Tensor Lab for Computational Medicine 

Tensor Lab is a research initiative led by medical students and world-renowned faculty at the NIH, UCSF School of Medicine, and the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Each summer, we host a fellowship designed for computer science students to apply their machine learning expertise to high-impact clinical questions. Fellows lead independent research projects under the guidance of medical students and physician mentors, with a strong emphasis on producing peer-reviewed publications.

We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with the UCLA community. Students can find more information at thetensorlab.org.

For questions, please contact Nathan Robbins at nathan.robbins@ucsf.edu

The Cambridge AI Safety Hub would like to invite exceptional computer science students at UCLA to apply to the upcoming iteration of the Mentorship for Alignment Researchers (MARS), an AI safety fellowship that matches exceptional students and early-career researchers with experienced researchers and academics from AI labs, think tanks, and academia. In July we will be flying out promising students and working professionals to the United Kingdom to participate in a "sprint week" where they will begin a research project that they'll subsequently carry out remotely through September.

We'll have more than 20 projects spanning multiple disciplines, but a few projects we think especially interesting to computer science students are:

• Research with Yossi Gandelsman (Reve) on whether LLMs can predict

the layer at which their own neurons appear, detect polysemantic

neurons, identify causal connections between two neurons in their own

architecture, or anticipate their own attention patterns.

• A project with Lindley Lentati (Cambridge Inference) on reproducible

white-box jailbreak monitoring, covering automated attack generation,

multi-layer probe aggregation, and streaming token-by-token detection.

• An investigation with Rhea Karty and Jacob Davis (ERA; LASR Labs) of

whether steering vectors for traits like confidence and honesty are

context-independent or persona-dependent, using LoRA adapters for

character-trained models and tracking trait geometry across training

checkpoints.

• Work with James Lucassen (Redwood Research) on deferral protocols

for AI control — implementing defer-to-trusted in BashArena,

developing usefulness monitors, and building methodology to evaluate

them.

• Work with Shivam Raval and Luiza Corpaci (Harvard; AMD) on detecting

unfaithful formal translations, using Lean-verified equational

theories as ground truth and mech-interp methods to locate where

translation failures occur.

Applications close on May 3rd. Students can find more information on

our program's webpage, caish [dot] org [slash] mars.

$19,900 Finance/Consulting Training Program Scholarship

Context: Founded by McKinsey & Bridgewater alums, Wall Street Guide is a selective career accelerator. In their fellowship program, students work 1-1 with current mentors at companies like Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and Citadel to apply and get jobs in finance and consulting. Currently, the program has students from Stanford, UPenn, Cornell, Brown, Umichigan, BU, and 20+ other universities.

Scholarship Competition: This Winter, Wall Street Guide is hosting a full-ride scholarship competition for the Wall Street Guide Fellowship Program. If you are selected, you will receive a full-ride scholarship worth $19,900 to participate in the fellowship. The competition is open to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.

Referral Bonus: We’re also introducing a double-prize referral system — if someone refers a student who ends up winning the full-ride, both the winner and the person who referred them will receive the grand prize. If someone referred you, make sure to list their name in your application.
