Applications will go live in late Fall 2022.
Participation in this program requires that you are located in the United States for the duration of the engagement.
This opportunity is intended for students who are pursuing a PhD degree with an anticipated graduation date after December 2024, depending on their program and unique circumstances. If you are graduating before December 2024, we encourage you to apply to the Research Internship opening.
To start the application process, you will need an updated CV or resume and a current unofficial or official transcript in English (PDFs preferred). Please ensure your anticipated graduation dates (in MM/YY) and any proficiency in coding languages are listed on resume
Minimum qualifications:
+ Currently enrolled in a PhD in Computer Science, Linguistics, Statistics, Biostatistics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, or Natural Sciences.
+ Experience in one area of computer science (e.g., Natural Language Understanding, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Algorithmic Foundations of Optimization, Quantum Information Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, etc.).
Preferred qualifications:
+ Currently attending a degree program in the US.
+ Currently enrolled in a full-time degree program and returning to the program after completion of the internship.
+ Experience as a researcher, including internships, full-time, or at a lab.
+ Experience contributing to research communities or efforts, including publishing papers in conferences or journals.
+ Experience with one or more general purpose programming languages (e.g., C/C++, Java, MATLAB, Go, Python, etc.).
+ Ability to speak and write in English fluently.
The Student Researcher Program's primary objective is to foster academic collaborations with students through research at Google. Join us for a paid Student Researcher position that offers the opportunity to work directly with Google research scientists and engineers on research projects.
The Student Researcher Program offers more opportunities for research students to work on critical research projects at Google in a less structured way. The program allows opportunities beyond the limitations of our traditional internship program on aspects such as duration, time commitment, and working location (with options for on-site or remote). The topics student researchers work on tend to be open-ended and exploratory, and don't always have a clear deliverable like a traditional internship would.
Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we're working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software engineers 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.
+ Participate in research to develop solutions for real-world, large-scale problems.
