Microsoft Research provides a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers. Our researchers and engineers pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.
The Information and Data Sciences (IDEAS) group in Microsoft Research AI seeks exceptional interns in the broad fields of information and data sciences. The IDEAS group brings together expertise from artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, deep learning, information retrieval, and social computing. We work together with our collaborators in research and product teams on fundamental and applied research.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in machine learning (specifically deep learning, causal/counterfactual inference, recommendation methods, or large-scale relational/graph learning), data science, productivity, and conversational search and interaction.
Examples of our current projects include contextually intelligent assistants, next-generation productivity, and causal-inference for decision support.
Responsibilities
Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world’s best researchers, interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, students are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer.
As an intern in Microsoft Research AI, you will have the opportunity to develop your research career as a member of a world-class research organization. We offer a vibrant environment for cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research, both theoretical and applied, including access to diverse data sources, an open publication policy, and close links to top academic institutions around the world.
