Our recent acquisition by BioNTech has further solidified our commitment to leading the industry.
Join us to be a part of the AI revolution!
The internship will take the form of a novel research project with InstaDeep’s engineering team (applied research). In collaboration with, and guided by, other research engineers you will work on a challenging problem where new solutions are needed to push the performance of AI models. For example, past interns have worked on problems like: exploring planning algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems and increasing the effective context length of language models for biological tasks that require understanding long DNA sequences.
The internship’s duration will be 3 months.
We design the internship to focus on a small part of a challenging application where we can test our ideas and improve upon previous work within the three months allotted. Although we have project ideas, we take into account the interests of interns and work together to design the best plan.
You will be responsible for writing high-quality code, running well thought-out experiments, as well as documenting and communicating your findings to the wider team. Depending on project outcomes and wider team developments, you may be required to investigate different research avenues or contribute to work on any of the engineering team’s products in development.
