Research Intern - High Performance and Scalable Database Systems

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.

Azure PostgreSQL group is seeking a Research Intern who is interested in an exciting opportunity to work on research projects in the intersection of high performance, scalable databases and advanced memory systems (e.g., CXL, RDMA) in the cloud space. 

You will get a chance to work with top database minds from around the world including PostgreSQL committers, previous start up founders, and other core database engine experts. Additionally, you will interact with the top database researchers in the world who are looking at the very cutting edge of technology frontiers.  

This is an opportunity to stand on the shoulders of the latest hardware and software innovations with Azure and PostgreSQL and leap even further! 

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. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer.
