    Default job background
    Description
    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 Microsoft Research Computational Social Science (CSS) group is widely recognized as a leading center of computational social science research, lying at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and the social sciences. We have been heavily focused recently on the intersection of Large Language Model (LLM)-based tools and human cognition and productivity. Additionally, our main areas of interest are: innovating ways to make data, models, and algorithms easier for people to understand; polling and forecasting; advancing crowdsourcing methods; and understanding the market (and impact) for news and advertisement. Our approach is motivated by two longstanding difficulties for traditional social science: first, that simply gathering observational data on human activity is extremely difficult at scale and over time; and second, that running experiments to manipulate the conditions under which these measurements are made (e.g., randomly assigning large sets of interacting people to treatment and control groups) is even more challenging and often impossible.

    In the first category, we exploit digital data that is generated by existing platforms (e.g., email, web browsers, search, social media) to generate novel insights into individual and collective human behavior. In the second category, we design novel "virtual lab" experiments that allow for larger scale, longer time horizons, and greater complexity and realism than is possible in physical labs.

    Microsoft Research (MSR) New England and MSR New York City are comprised of approximately fifty full-time researchers and postdocs working in AI for systems, computational biology, computational social science, economics and computation, Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics in AI (FATE), machine learning and AI, machine learning and statistics, reinforcement learning, social media studies, theoretical computer science. The labs are highly collaborative and interdisciplinary and are actively engaged with the local academic and tech communities.

    Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
