Job Description

Virtual Internship

Participation in the Research Internship Program requires that you are physically located in the United States or Canada for the duration of the internship.

Research Internships at Microsoft provide 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.

As an AI for Cloud intern, you will formulate new approaches to solve problems unique to the cloud infrastructure. You will incorporate an understanding of product requirements and customer perspective to provide context for those solutions. You will use mathematical techniques to discover new questions or opportunities within your problem area and propose applicability and limitations of the solution. A successful intern will be capable of coming up with new ideas to address the challenging setting of doing AI within a cloud infrastructure, practically demonstrate the applicability of these new ideas and write rigorous proofs for their analysis.

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.

Additional Responsibilities

You will engage with peer stakeholders to produce clear, compelling, actionable insights that influence product and service improvements that will impact millions of customers.
