Application to the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute
This application is for two separate programs: the Runway Startup Postdoc Program (recent PhD graduates) and the Technion NYC Research Program (Technion students only). You will be asked to specify the program you are applying to in the application - you may only apply to one (1).
Runway Startup Postdoc Program
We accept PhDs who have graduated within the last five years and PhD candidates nearing the end of their programs. Startup Postdocs are interested in the application of digital technologies in a broad sense. The faculty at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute and Cornell Tech includes experts in connective media, health technology, security and privacy, computer vision and a number of other fields. We tend to select Startup Postdocs with related backgrounds so they can take advantage of the excellent resources and mentors already here. Check out our faculty and the Runway companies that have already launched.
We offer info session throughout the application period. To learn more, register here.
Application opens on October 25 and will close on February 1.
Technion NYC Research Program
The Technion NYC Research Program will be offered in the summer of 2026.
The program connects students of the Technion with Cornell Tech/Jacobs faculty for a 9 week research position on a variety of faculty-led projects, while also providing meaningful academic and rich cultural experiences for the students. The summer program runs for 9 weeks from August to October in alignment with the Technion academic calendar, with the possibility of extension depending on faculty availability and prior approval. We expect commitment to the program on a full-time basis for the duration of the internship. If you cannot commit for the full duration of the program, we ask you to refrain from applying.
Application opens February 15 and will close March 15.
