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. Microsoft Research is seeking Research Interns to join us in pushing the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities with large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models. Our mission is to create new LLM memory representation and orchestration systems in the pursuit of innovative and disruptive offerings for both enterprise and consumer contexts.

Research 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.

Conducting hands-on research into systems for memory and orchestration of LLMs and multimodal models.

Investigating new embedding techniques, including graph embeddings and methods that measure changes over time.

Developing advanced retrieval augmented generation systems to enhance LLM capabilities.

Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams of researchers and engineers on challenging and impactful projects.

Presenting research findings and participating in research discussions.
