Subject: [ITP-L] Paid Internship at Microsoft Research NYC
To: ITP-L@gc.listserv.cuny.edu
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/jobs/intern/about_ny.aspx
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.
