    Research Interns work closely with Developers to discover, invent, and build at the largest scale. Ideas may come from internal projects. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing architectures, Research Interns work on challenges in artificial intelligence, machine perception, data mining, machine learning, natural language understanding, privacy, computer architecture, networking, operating systems, storage and data management, and more.

    Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow. From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day.
