I have seen professor hiring remote research intern, possibly fresh graduates or undergrads in final years, to do research with them before considering them for phd position in their lab. I have seen on professors’ websites about such scenarios especially in US universities. So, considering international students, who are not living in US, my question is , Are they paid remote interns or unpaid? If paid, then what is the salary per month or hourly pay? And, can professor pay them as they are not a student of the same college?

Paying someone who is not only not a student of the university but a resident of a foreign country is remarkably logistically challenging for a number of reasons. And there really isn’t any need to; there are pretty much always going to be plenty of actual students at the university who can do the work.
