Job Description

This Research Internship focuses on improving the reliability and trustworthiness of artificial intelligence (AI) systems that support complex, real-world decision-making. The Research Intern will study how large language model (LLM)–based assistants behave when relevant information is incomplete or unevenly available and explore methods for detecting such gaps and adapting system responses accordingly. The work emphasizes uncertainty awareness, responsible reasoning, and robustness, contributing to safer and more dependable AI systems in enterprise settings.

Job Responsibility

  • Research Interns put inquiry and theory into practice
  • Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world’s best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life
  • Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides
  • During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a PhD program in computer science, machine learning, statistics, human-computer interaction or a related field
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with common ML and data processing libraries
  • Experience with large language models and/or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or related approaches
  • Prior research experience in machine learning, NLP, or human-centered AI, demonstrated through publications, preprints, or substantial projects suitable for peer-reviewed venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, FAccT, AIES, CHI, or CSCW
  • Proficient written and verbal communication skills for presenting and documenting research
  • Interest in AI reliability, robustness, safety, or responsible AI research

  • AI-Native Operations
  • Design, build, and ship agentic capabilities that make the analytics team more AI-native, including co-PM agents that triage incoming work, monitor data science workstreams in Azure DevOps, and propose ticket updates that keep our backlog accurate without manual hygiene effort
  • Build PM-layer agents that read across the Azure Dev Ops (ADO) portfolio to surface risk, estimate effort on new requests, and recommend project plans that managers can adapt rather than write from scratch
  • Establish shared infrastructure and patterns — prompting, evaluation, orchestration, observability, guardrails — that let the rest of the team build downstream agents reliably
  • Analyst Delivery Acceleration
  • Develop LLM-powered internal tools and skills that compress the cycle from analytics request to delivered insight, including capabilities that draft, format, and pressure-test the standard inputs analysts produce for MBR, MMR, and leadership review rhythms
  • Identify the highest-friction parts of the analyst delivery flow and design generative AI interventions that remove rather than relocate the work
  • Partner with the analytics team to instrument adoption, measure time saved, and iterate based on real usage rather than projected value
  • Marketer-Facing Capabilities
  • Lead the design and delivery of marketer-facing generative AI capabilities, anchored by a conversational analytics agent that allows marketers across Brand, Product Marketing Management (PMM), Customer Insights, and demand generation to self-serve on the analytics questions they bring to the team today
