Causal ML internship opportunity in Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK
Cheng Zhang
Causal machine learning is essential for decision-making in many domains, such as business decision-making. In Microsoft Research, we push technology boundaries in scalable causal methods by inventing novel models utilizing deep learning for challenging applications.
We are looking for a highly motivated intern to work on innovative causal machine learning in causal machine learning for summer/fall 2023. The candidate will closely work with researchers of the Causal AI team. The research will involve advancing state-of-the-art causal machine learning methods, including but not limited to causal discovery, causal inference, and causal deep learning for real-world applications in the context of both first-party and third-party collaborations. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with both researchers and engineers in Microsoft research and with the protential to experience how advanced research can make a huge impact in the real-world.
There is no closing deadline for this post. The post will be filled once suitable candidates are found so if you are interested please apply as soon as possible. When submitting your application, include your CV with a list of publications as an attachment. You may also include your published work. For more information about the post, please feel free to email Cheng Zhang at Cheng...@microsoft.com
“Interns are expected to be physically located in UK for the duration of their internship.”
