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, 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.
Do you want to be part of a team working at projects with potential to cause radical changes in existing industries? The Living Interfaces group is part of the Special Projects team and is working on disruptive ideas to transform diverse areas. To name a few, our members developed Project Natick (https://natick.research.microsoft.com/) where we built and deployed a full-scale underwater datacenter that showed reduced energy use and improved performance; also, we are working on a system using multiple depth cameras to provide real-time 3D Telemedicine at remote and underserved areas using Microsoft's Holoportation™ technology (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/holoportation-3/). Our new research challenges lie at the intersection of Large Language Models (LLMS) and Computer Vision (CV.)
If you are interested in these types of projects, enjoy working in a dynamic environment, have background in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and/or Computer Vision and proficient programming skills, come join our Research Intern Program at Microsoft Research. You will help solve complex challenges in diverse fields and have access to a network of world-class research labs led by globally recognized scientists and engineers. As an Research Intern, you will help with our current projects involving LLMs and CV, while having equal opportunities and access to tools, resources, and development opportunities.
