InternshipSHIP

Description

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.

We are seeing massive growth in AI scenarios and the shift in trend towards large language models has substantially increased the computation costs.

In addition, the continuous evolving landscape, in models and hardware diversity, contributes to the complexity and difficulty of efficient inferencing.

Within our Systems Innovation research group, we are working on advancing efficiency across AI systems, where we look at novel designs and optimizations across AI stacks: hardware, cloud infrastructure, AI frameworks, and models.

We closely collaborate with multiple research teams and product groups across the globe.

Responsibilities:

Develop and implement efficient AI algorithms and models.

During the 12-week internship, students are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other interns and researchers to conduct research, 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.

Qualifications:

Required Qualifications

Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related STEM field.
Must have at least 1 year of experience in conducting research, writing peerreviewed publications and software development.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with efficiency and scalability in machine learning, large language models, model compression/distillation, adaptive computation, approximate inference, and/or AI hardware.
Experience in conducting research and writing peerreviewed publications.
Strong programming skills, preferable in Python.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
