OverviewResearch 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, who 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 Microsoft Applied Sciences Group incubates disruptive technologies for Microsoft's next-gen Windows and Surface products. Operating as a startup within the company, this team works closely with several research and product teams to bring compelling new experiences to the market. A lot of these experiences will be powered by speech, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and large language models (LLM) - and as part of this team, you will have the unique opportunity to develop machine learning (ML) algorithms and deep neural network (DNN) models for such exciting projects.
ResponsibilitiesResearch Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world's best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research 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. We are looking for a Research Intern in the field of computer agents, which involves expertise in computer vision, NLP, sequential decision-making, and deep learning techniques to help our devices understand the user better and make decisions to augment the human experience in a computer environment. The ability to analyze multimodal sensor data and interpret various human and human-object interactions is key to Applied Sciences' mission of enabling a seamless set of human computer interactions. As part of this team, you will be working with a growing team of talented researchers already dedicated to this mission and use data and hardware only available to a select few. Naturally, the opportunity for you to push the state of the art in this field is huge. | |
