Internship Opportunities
Microsoft Research offers internship opportunities at research locations around the world. The majority of our interns are PhD students in the field of Computer Science, related technical majors, or social sciences with a technical focus, but we also accept a small group of outstanding students with a proven research focus who are master’s or bachelor’s candidates. Internships at Microsoft Research provide students with the opportunity to apply research and theory to practice while working with well-known researchers and networking with fellow PhD students from around the world.
