Research Intern - AI Frontiers - Reasoning & Agentic Models

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 AI Frontier Lab at Microsoft Research is seeking candidates to advance the state of the art in agentic model capabilities -- creating models and agents that can reliably perform tasks across digital systems on behalf of humans, combining automation, reasoning, and interaction capabilities to execute workflows end-to-end, leveraging both text-based environments (CLI tools, APIs, scripts, MCPs) and visual environments (GUI applications). Our lab conducts cutting-edge research in AI and publishes findings in top-tier venue such as NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, and others. We release models and libraries in the open-source (e.g. Phi-4, Phi-4-reaoning, AgentInstruct, AutoGen, MagenticOne) while also working within Microsoft's ecosystem to ship our AI technologies in multiple products. We seek Research Interns with demonstrated ability for technical work and a proven record of influential publications on Artificial Intelligence.
