What Makes ICSI Different?
As an independent, non-profit research institute with a university affiliation, we offer the best of both worlds. We foster a uniquely flexible work environment where you can pursue both your research and entrepreneurial passions while collaborating closely with a premier academic institution.
We’re about taking on tough challenges—not playing it safe.
Our researchers pursue questions they feel are in the public interest and advance technologies that address societal needs. We leverage strong ties with UC Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Silicon Valley ecosystem to bring great ideas to fruition in whatever way is best suited to the problem at hand.
We’re about solving problems—not only about submitting papers.
Unlike industry or academia, ICSI does not have strict expectations on research output. We may write traditional research papers, but we also build research communities, inform public policy, and spin out startup companies.
We’re about excellence—not exclusivity.
Visitors come from all over the world and all career stages to advance their work at ICSI. Recognizing that truly impactful work often spans disciplines, sectors, and borders, ICSI is a place where boundary-spanning ideas flourish.
