You currently have valid work authorization to work in the country in which this role is based that will extend from June to September 2026.
You are available from June 15th onwards for a 10 or 12 week summer internship.
You have publications in communities such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, RecSys, The Web Conference, ACL, SIGIR, WSDM, KDD, or related venues (preferred)
You are a creative problem-solver who is passionate about digging into complex problems and devising innovative ways to reach results (preferred)
You have experience with the complexities of modeling and analyzing real-world data (preferred)
