    Our internships are twelve-week paid internships in New York City. We are
    looking for interns interested in a variety of scientific fields. Most of
    our interns are PhD candidates. Applicants from universities outside of the
    United States are welcome to apply.

    Internship Experience
    The internship experience at the New York City lab can vary depending on
    the area of study, intern, and mentor. (See our members’ bios to get a
    sense of possible topics.) In some cases, our interns design their own
    project, while in other cases the intern and mentor arrive at a project
    together. Interns are often most successful if their research project
    involves collaboration with full-time or post-doc researchers, and interns
    often produce a article stemming from their intern project.

    In thinking about the kind of research you would like to do, intern
    applicants are strongly encouraged to consider one or a few researchers at
    the New York City lab and how they might imagine collaborating with them.
    Although Microsoft does have applied opportunities for student interns,
    this is not an applied program. The types of research that our researchers
    do are equivalent to the types of research that take place in universities.
    Interns may have opportunities to affect product with their research, but
    this is neither expected nor guaranteed.

    Application Process
    To apply for an internship at Microsoft Research New York City:

    Fill out the online application form.

    Be sure to indicate that you are interested in Microsoft Research New York
    City and your areas of interest, and be sure to list two recommenders.
    Please review which researcher in the lab most closely relates to your area
    of research. Add them in the “Microsoft Research Contacts” field, which can
    be found under the “Select Positions & More” section of the application.
    We encourage you to monitor the status of your requested letters of
    recommendation, as the application is considered “incomplete” until two
    letters of reference have been submitted. You can check the status of your
    application, including progress on individual reference requests, at any
    time by clicking the Status tab within your application page.
    When to Apply
    While we hire interns throughout the year, most of our internship positions
    are available in the summer.

    To ensure full consideration for a summer internship, we encourage all
    candidates to have applied by January 1.
    Otherwise, we accept applications throughout the year subject to
    availability.
    Apply for an internship.
