- Q: Where is ISI and how to do I get there?
A: ISI is located in Marina del Rey, which is about 30 minutes from the main campus by car. There are direction to ISI here. There is also a shuttle that runs from the main campus multiple times a day. You can find the shuttle schedule at USC Transportation under Marina Del Rey Shuttle.

- Q: I'm an undergraduate and would like to do a summer internship with you. How do I apply?
A: I don't hire any undergraduate summer interns directly, but the USC School of Engineering has several different summer internship programs. Please go to the following web site for more information and instructions on how to apply: Viterbi Summer Internships.
- Q: I have been accepted to the USC Computer Science department's M.S. program. Will you consider me for a position as a research assistant?
A: I don't generally take on M.S. students until I get to know them. A good way for me to get to know you is to take my course, CSCI 548, "Information Integration on the Web". I teach the course every spring semester.
- Q: I am a Ph.D. candidate at another university. Would you consider me for a summer internship, and if so, would the position be paid?
A: I do accept non-USC Ph.D. students for summer internships, and may be able to provide financial support. Send me your CV, a description of your current research, what you would like to work on, and why you think this is the place to do it.
- Q: I'm considering coming to USC for my Ph.D. in computer science. Would you please review my CV and let me know whether I'd be able to work with you?
A: I'm always looking for strong students with research experience, but can only consider an application once the admissions committee has reviewed and approved it. I would encourage you to apply if you've done research and meet USC's academic requirements. Make sure to list me on the USC application form as one of the professors with whom you would like to work.

- Q: I am a USC M.S. student in computer science. Do you have any openings for research assistants?
A: : I do hire M.S. students from time to time, but only consider those who have taken my class or are strongly recommended by someone I know.

- Q: I'll be graduating soon and am interested in a post-doc position in your group. Do you have any openings?
A: I offer one and two-year post-doc positions, and may be interested if you have research experience in areas related to my current interests. (See the current projects under the Projects page). Whether I'll be hiring when you graduate depends on funding availability and that often happens on short notice. If you're interested, send me your CV, a description of your past research, the area(s) in which you'd like to work, and why you think this is the place to do it.
- Q: I am interested in a full-time staff or research position. Are there any openings at ISI?

Use ÒII Group Job RequestÓ in your subject line so that I won't mistakenly delete your message as spam.
