A short research residency at MBZUAI in Abu Dhabi for final-year master's students and prospective PhD applicants, lasting up to three months with flexible start dates on campus. Applicants need a STEM degree with a minimum 3.5/4.0 GPA or equivalent and demonstrated research experience, preferably including co-authored work published at top venues. The fellowship funds round-trip flights, health insurance, visa sponsorship and a monthly stipend covering accommodation. Applications are accepted year-round on a rolling basis through the University's applicant portal, making this an unusually accessible on-ramp into a fully funded AI doctorate.
