Overview

‍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 Health Futures is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers and medical doctors focused on developing next generation methods and tools for health and healthcare. We offer a unique vibrant environment that features cutting-edge academic research, enterprise software development and real-world delivery, with close feedback loops and rapid iterations among all three, much like a lean startup.

We are looking for Research Intern candidates to help us advance state-of-the-art biological large language models (LLMs) and agentic applications for real-world impact. You will have the opportunity to collaborate across technical, user research, and responsible artificial intelligence (AI) domains, contributing to the future of AI-driven biomedical solutions at scale.

‍Responsibilities‍

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.
