OpenAI internships
OpenAI groups internships and early-career roles under Emerging Talent. There is one board. Searching “intern,” “internship,” or “internships” does not reach three different programs.
Updated 2026-09-27
Start at Emerging talent. Dates and teams are on each req. When the page has no open internship, there is no alternate form. The residency is a different program, aimed at people entering research, not a summer internship with another name.
Apply through the posting. A message to this site is not an application, and neither is a chat with the model.
Questions
When do OpenAI internship applications open?
When a req is on the Emerging Talent page. The page is the calendar.

No. Residency has its own page at openai.com/residency.

- OpenAI Residency
The OpenAI Residency is a research program with its own application at openai.com/residency. It is not the internship board and not a ChatGPT feature.
- OpenAI Academy
OpenAI Academy is the free course library at openai.com/academy, with tracks for writing and workspace agents. It is not a university.
