Virtual Internship
Participation in the Research Internship Program requires that you are physically located in the United States or Canada for the duration of the internship.
Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers. Our researchers and engineers pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.
Microsoft Research New England (MSRNE) is looking for an advanced PhD student to work with the Social Media Collective (SMC) for a 12-week paid internship in spring 2022. We are looking in particular for candidates interested in researching social media platforms, news curation, user engagement, toxicity, or content moderation.
The ideal candidate may be trained in any number of disciplines (including communication, media studies, information science, anthropology, sociology, or a related field), but should have a strong qualitative methodological, analytical, and theoretical foundation, and be conversant with the literatures on platforms, news curation, user engagement, toxicity, and content moderation. The intern may have the opportunity to interact with product teams that develop technologies for news and community engagement at a global scale.
The Social Media Collective brings together empirical and critical perspectives to understand the political and cultural dynamics that underpin social media technologies.
