About Graphcore

At Graphcore, we’re building the future of AI compute. We’re a team of semiconductor, software and AI experts, with deep experience in creating the complete AI compute stack - from silicon and software to infrastructure at datacenter scale. As part of the SoftBank Group, backed by significant long-term investment, we are delivering key technology into the fast-growing SoftBank AI ecosystem.To meet the vast and exciting AI opportunity, Graphcore is expanding its teams around the world. We are bringing together the brightest minds to solve the toughest problems, in a place where everyone has the opportunity to make an impact on the company, our products and the future of artificial intelligence. Job Summary As a research intern at Graphcore, you will advance AI research and investigate new ideas that push the limits on important AI/ML problems. Specialised hardware has driven progress in AI over the last decade, and we believe that hardware-aware AI algorithms and AI-aware hardware developments will continue to be critical to this exciting field. We’re looking for candidates who are keen scientists and engineers, with the theoretical and practical skills needed for impactful AI research. During your internship, you’ll investigate a research question that relates to machine learning or accelerated computation. Practically, this means designing experiments, implementing models and algorithms, exploring data and presenting results, with the aim to present work publicly to the wider research community. You will be largely self-directed in your research activity, with freedom to pursue the most promising approach, and with the benefit of appropriate mentoring and guidance. Our team is interested in numerous topics across the field, including (but not limited to) efficient training and inference, improved model capabilities in the areas of factuality and reasoning, image and video generation, world models and molecule generation for life science applications. The Team Graphcore Research participates in both fundamental and applied research, to characterise the computational requirements of machine intelligence and to demonstrate how hardware can drive the next generation of innovative AI models. We publish at leading AI/ML conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) as well as specialist workshops, and collaborate with other research teams and organisations across the world. Candidate profile We’re looking for technically-minded, highly-motivated and adaptable problem-solvers who can thrive in our collaborative team.
