2024 PhD Applied Science Intern (NSW, VIC, SA, QLD, ACT)

As an Applied Scientist Intern, you will be working in the closet Amazon  offices to you (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane) in a fast-paced, cross-disciplinary team of researchers who are pioneers in  the field. You will take on complex problems, and work on solutions that  either leverage existing academic and industrial research, or utilize  your own out-of-the-box pragmatic thinking. In addition to coming up  with novel solutions and prototypes, you may even need to deliver these  to production in customer facing products.

Key job responsibilities

A research internship at Amazon is an  opportunity to work with leading machine learning researchers on  exciting problems using the best tools and hardware in the world. It is  an opportunity for PhD students and recent PhD graduates in Computer  Vision, Recommender Systems, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing,  and broader Machine Learning to address challenges at a scale that is  impossible elsewhere. Along the way, you’ll get opportunities to be a  disruptor, prolific innovator, and a reputed problem solver—someone who  truly enables machine learning to create significant impact.
