Microsoft Research has more than 800 researchers worldwide, including some of the world’s finest computer scientists and computer engineers as well as mathematicians, physicists, biologists, linguists, sociologists, etc. working across more than 55 areas of research. To maintain strong relations with leading research institutions around the world, Microsoft Research offers internships to outstanding PhD candidates whose research interests correspond to the research areas our scientists focus on. Thus, research interns have the opportunity to directly collaborate with well-known scientists influencing cutting-edge research. Each intern joins a particular research group and is supervised by a researcher.
In 2004, Microsoft Research created a program to further strengthen relationships with professors and graduate students in Latin America that encourages PhD students studying at Latin American universities to join our research community for 12 weeks as interns.
Latin American Microsoft Research interns will join a global community of researchers. After completion of the internship, a student will return to academia abound with new ideas and networking opportunities. The students’ professors will have the opportunity to strengthen existing scientific relationships and to establish new ones.
