AI Technology PhD Research Internship

Location: UK based from either our Bristol, Cambridge or London office.

Research PhD Internship

Explore a research career at Graphcore through a PhD internship, gaining hands-on experience on real projects. You’ll bring fresh ideas, put your learning into practice and help shape what we’re creating. Along the way, you’ll tackle challenging problems with a team who welcome your questions and support you as you build your skills and confidence.

Explore how your research could inform the next generation of AI compute, working alongside researchers tackling questions shaped by real-world hardware and software challenges.

Our team is interested in numerous topics across the field, working on problems where algorithms, hardware, and systems meet. These topics include large-scale pretraining and post-training of LLMs, efficient inference, numerics, world models, molecule generation for life science applications, and model safety and interpretability. Across all these directions, you’ll come up with new ideas, implement models and algorithms, design experiments, and present your findings (often in the form of a paper).

You’ll have room to follow promising ideas and help shape your research direction, with mentoring as you test your thinking. Your work could contribute to public research shared with the wider AI community.

Your team and support

Graphcore Research explores the computational requirements of machine intelligence and how hardware can enable the next generation of AI models. The team publishes at leading AI and machine learning conferences, including NeurIPS, ICML and ICLR.

You’ll learn alongside researchers working across . Mentoring and open research discussions will give you opportunities to explore ideas, get feedback and decide which questions to pursue.
