Internship opportunities Mixed Reality & AI Lab

Inseriert am: 24.11.2020

It has never been a more exciting time at the Mixed Reality & AI Lab in Zurich! Our team is building the future of mixed reality. We are passionate about using computer vision to map and understand the environment, recognize and track relevant objects, and assist the user in performing the task at hand. We continue to advance the state of the art in computer vision, robotics, AI, human understanding, and deep learning. Everything we do is inspired by an underlying ethos of responsible development for AI systems, which in turn demands an inclusive approach to design that empowers everyone to do more. Interns will have the opportunity to make a real contribution to our team’s impact on the world. 


 


The Mixed Reality & AI Lab in Zurich is looking for Research Interns in Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Robotics, broadly defined. As an intern you will work closely with one or more mentors and have access to the latest hardware and software technology we are developing. An internship at Microsoft will not only help you advance your own career but allow you to contribute to exciting research developments in the field. Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life alongside some of the world’s best researchers and engineers. 


Responsibilities


Interns put their research skills and theory into practice.  During the 12-week internship, you will work on an exciting and open-ended project that aims to push the state of the art forward.  You will be expected to collaborate with other interns and researchers by regularly sharing their findings with the group, actively seeking feedback from others, working in a shared codebase, and giving a final presentation. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they often begin in the summer.
