As a Research Intern you will be working in the Azure Storage group, conducting research on leading edge storage systems. You will have an opportunity to optimize the performance and efficiency of storage systems at enormous scale and work on extremely challenging problems. Current work includes designing storage systems optimized for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads including training, checkpointing and inferencing. You will gain insights about these AI workloads from our work with leading edge AI customers, both external and internal.

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.
