What could I expect to do at Microsoft for the summer?
Microsoft Research interns share the same job responsibilities as
full-time employees. You’ll be given real work with tremendous problems
to solve. As an intern, you’ll be working right alongside full-time
employees as part of a team. Together with your mentor (that is, your guide) or manager,
you’ll identify a problem to work on that meets your and a Microsoft
Research group’s interests.
When do internships take place? How long do internships last?
We ask that interns stay for a minimum of 12 weeks — long enough to
really dive into a project and make a significant contribution. Most
of our North America internship opportunities are
available in the summer months, but we’ll work with you to set your
start and end dates any time throughout the year. Internships can
last as long as a year, under special circumstances.
Do I have to be a U.S. citizen to apply for an internship in
the U.S.?
We’ll consider all qualified candidates, regardless of citizenship or
visa status, and put you in touch with one of our immigration
professionals to walk you through the process.
What qualifications do I need to be an intern at Microsoft Research India?
You must be a student enrolled in a relevant field of study,
such as computer science, engineering, and mathematics, but for the TEM
group, we also look for good students in the social sciences. We are biased
towards PhD candidates, but will also accept strong Master’s students and
late-year undergraduates with a serious interest in research.
Do I have to be an Indian citizen to apply for an internship in India?
We consider all qualified candidates who are interested in doing an internship
in Bangalore, regardless of citizenship or visa status. You will be required to
have an Indian passport or work visa to work. We will help you with that
process.
