There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
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. The Sociotechnical Alignment Center (STAC) is a team of researchers, applied scientists, and linguists in Microsoft Research (MSR) who represent part of the research pillar of Microsoft's Responsible AI efforts. Founded within Microsoft Research in 2022, STAC's mission is to guide the sociotechnical alignment of AI systems, with a particular emphasis on measuring risks, capabilities, performance, and other properties of these systems. STAC collaborates extensively with researchers from the Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics in AI (FATE) group and other groups across Microsoft. STAC is looking to hire several Research Interns in Redmond and NYC to conduct research on measuring risks, capabilities, performance, and other properties of AI systems, with a focus on "generative" or "general purpose" systems. STAC's approach to evaluation is grounded in measurement theory from the social sciences and in statistics. All STAC internships will involve collaborations and/or co-mentorship with one or more FATE researchers.
