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, computer science, mathematics, economics, physics, healthcare, and the environment. Microsoft Research Asia - Vancouver lab, located in the vibrant city of Vancouver, BC, Canada, our lab represents Microsoft Research Asia's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region. We're on a mission to transform the future of artificial intelligence by bridging the gap between cutting-edge general AI and the specialized, real-world applications that drive meaningful impact. We are seeking multiple Research Interns working on artificial intelligence projects, with a wide range of potential topics ranging from multimodality, world model to LLM and computer vision. You will be working with MSR researchers across Vancouver lab, Redmond lab, Beijing lab and beyond to shape and develop the next generation of artificial intelligence. We support Research Interns to explore various sectors of artificial intelligence, as long as they align well with Vancouver's lab or the whole MSR mission. We encourage students with diverse research backgrounds broadly lie in artificial intelligence, including but not limited to multimodality, AI4Code, NLP, LLM, robotics, agents and computer vision, to apply for this position.
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.Additional ResponsibilitiesConduct research on state-of-the-art artificial intelligence methodologies and identify new opportunities to advance artificial intelligence from various aspects. Leverage interdisciplinary expertise and knowledge across NLP, LLM, computer vision, and other related domains to accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence. Develop, prototype, and optimize novel methodologies to tackle the core challenges of artificial intelligence. Disseminate research findings through publications in peer-reviewed journals, top-tier conferences, and other relevant venues, and present results both internally and externally. Collaborate with researchers at MSR or Microsoft and beyond to advance and propel the research process. | |
