Prospective PhD Students
Our lab is actively seeking motivated PhD students, ideally with experience in robotics and/or artificial intelligence. If you have a relevant background and are interested in joining URIL, please apply directly to the UCLA CS PhD program.
UCLA Master's and Undergraduate Students
Research is not a course or a job: it is open-ended, often slow, and full of dead ends, and a genuine interest in it should stem from curiosity about the questions themselves. Before reaching out, please read a few of our recent publications to see whether our questions excite you, then fill out this application form to indicate your interest.
We especially encourage students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in STEM to apply.
