Anima Anandkumar, Pietro Perona and Stefano Soatto are recruiting student interns for 2018 (Summer and Academic Year), in the new Amazon Web Services/Amazon AI office in Pasadena.
Research projects will focus on Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in general. Interns will explore topics related to AI in the cloud. Areas of research will include computer vision, machine learning, neural computation, web of things and the interaction of virtual and physical worlds.
They are interested in application areas that benefit people and culture, such as health, sustainability, climate, ecology, science, the arts. Projects are likely to result in publishable research and open source code in frameworks like Apache MxNet.
Students
Interested students are encouraged to share their vision of the future and to propose topics that they feel passionate about in order to support publishable research and open source frameworks. Internships can give opportunities to collaborate and gain insights on some projects within the large community of researchers in Amazon.
The starting dates can commence any time after January 1, 2018. Typical duration ranges from 3 to 6 months, but ad-hoc arrangements can be made. In some cases, collaboration with the academic advisor can be set up in the form of a consulting arrangement. Candidates from underrepresented communities in STEM are encouraged to apply as well.
Submission
Interested applicants can submit a paragraph with an internship idea, together with a resume to the same address, with the subject line “AI Internship in Pasadena” to grad-recruiting-sourcing@amazon.com.
