Microsoft Research Intern - Artificial Intelligence 

Taiwan, Taoyuan City 

353934600

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.

• Currently enrolled in a Master or Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or a related field.

Other Requirements

• Research Interns are expected to be physically located in their manager’s Microsoft worksite location for the duration of their internship.
• In addition to the qualifications below, you’ll need to submit a minimum of two reference letters for this position as well as a cover letter and any relevant work or research samples. After you submit your application, a request for letters may be sent to your list of references on your behalf. Note that reference letters cannot be requested until after you have submitted your application, and furthermore, that they might not be automatically requested for all candidates. You may wish to alert your letter writers in advance, so they will be ready to submit your letter.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic and vibrant research environment.
• Willingness to embrace knowledge/technique outside your field of research.
• Solid programming skill, including prototyping, implementation and optimization.
• Experience in LLM pre-training, post-training and inference (like Megatron framework).
• Experience in world model, multimodality and AI4Code.
• Reinforcement Learning experiences and frameworks (like VeRL, rLLM)
• Proven publication track such as CVPR, ACL, ICML, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, RSS etc.
