# MTS - Research Scientist Internship

Collinear's Internship program is designed for PhD students who are eligible to do a 12-week internship. Start dates are flexible and can be extended. As an MTS - Research Scientist (Applied Scientist), you will help build the data engine for frontier AI. You will develop the high-fidelity environments and evaluation stacks that the world’s leading AI labs rely on to stress-test their most advanced agents. You will work across domains including Computer Use, Enterprise MCP/Toolcalling and Coding. Verifier Design, Simulated Personas, Benchmarking Personal AGI are some of the research areas we work on. Responsibilities: Build Agentic Environments: Design and implement the next generation of "SimLabs", ultra-realistic, long-horizon simulation environments where agents learn to navigate ambiguity and maintain context. Programmatic and Agentic Verification: Develop rigorous, policy-aware judges and evaluations that measure genuine capability and safety beyond simple benchmarks. Close the Loop: Design and execute high-quality post-training runs (CPT, SFT, RL) to deliver frontier performance on open-source models using curated, high-signal data.
