Internship Opportunities - Multimodal Deep Learning for Healthcare - Microsoft Research in Cambridge

Job description

Overview

Microsoft Research Health Futures UK conducts world-class research at the intersection of AI and healthcare, drawing on deep expertise in biomedical imaging and multimodal deep learning. We are seeking research interns to join our vibrant team of researchers and engineers.

We focus on the development and understanding of large multimodal models (such as

MAIRA

) for problems in healthcare and biomedical discovery.

As an intern within our team, you will have the opportunity to:

• Deepen your expertise in multimodal deep learning and contribute to our ambitious research agenda
• Conduct experimentation with world-class computational resources
• Learn in a team with a strong culture of collaboration and rigorous research
  
  

Responsibilities

The ideal candidate will have strong intellectual curiosity and passion to solve real-world problems in healthcare using machine learning. Responsibilities will include:

• Co-development of an internship project in collaboration with the supervisor
• Design, implementation and evaluation of new machine learning methods and models
• Presentation and communication of research findings
  
  

Qualifications

Required/Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program in areas such as computer science (e.g. Machine learning, deep learning, signal processing), medical imaging, computational biology, medicine
• Prior experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) and some familiarity with software engineering practices (e.g. Git)
• Passion for healthcare and medicine
• Experience with real-world healthcare data.
• Ability to work and learn in a collaborative and diverse environment
  
  

Preferred/Additional Qualifications:

• Representation learning self-supervised learning, unimodal or multimodal learning

• Expertise in or enthusiasm for any of the following topics:
