Job Description

The Student Researcher Program offers research students the opportunity to work on critical research projects at Google in a less structured way than a traditional internship. The program allows for flexibility in duration, time commitment, and working location (with options for on-site or remote).

Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. This involves utilizing the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software developers and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs. Responsibilities include participating in research to develop solutions for real-world, large-scale problems.

  • Currently enrolled in a PhD degree in Computer Science, Linguistics, Statistics, Biostatistics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, Natural Sciences, or related technical field.
  • Experience in one area of computer science (e.g., Natural Language Understanding, Human Computer Interactions, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Algorithmic Foundations of Optimization, Quantum Information Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or similar areas).
  • Experience with one or more general purpose programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript, C/C++, etc.)
Good to have:
  • Currently enrolled in a full-time degree program and returning to the program after completion of the internship.
