Here’s a glimpse into the Internship experience from some of our TRI interns!

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team in Human-Centered AI, Large Behavior Models, Robotics, Automated Driving, Energy & Materials and Human Interactive Driving.

The Team

This internship opportunity falls within the Adaptive Behavior Systems team of Human-Centered AI Division (HCAI). We are an integrated team of ML researchers and social and behavior scientists. At the core of our work, we aim to enable decisions through human-centered AI that advance collective well-being for people and the planet.

The Internship

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD research intern to join our adaptive behavior systems team to push the boundaries of causal reasoning in LLMs. The intern will collaborate with our interdisciplinary team of machine learning, behavioral, and social scientists to study how well language-based generative machine learning models can reason causally and to develop methods for testing and improving causal reasoning. The project will be focused on researching in a specific sub-area of the overall goal, towards publication in a top-tier venue. The intern will further engage in strategy discussions about how the research connects to business impact at Toyota.

This is a Winter 2027 paid 12-week internship opportunity. Please note that this internship will be a hybrid in-office role.
