2025 University Recruiting - Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Generative AI Research Intern

Job Description

Are you a current Ph.D. student passionate about helping computers learn to decipher the intricacies of language and eager to make a meaningful contribution to therapeutics development and patient lives? We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and analytical-minded individual to join our NLP team for a rewarding summer internship. 

Role Description 

As an NLP Research Intern, you will collaborate with our cross-disciplinary team of data scientists, bioinformaticians, and engineers. Your work will involve helping to create and improve NLP and generative AI models for unstructured and semi-structured data from various sources across our research and development pipeline. Key focus areas will include the likes of text classification, named entity recognition, relation extraction, entity linking, and question answering systems using NLP, generative AI, and agent-based systems. Through this experience, you will gain an understanding of real-world NLP applications, while contributing to NLP research. 

Your Responsibilities 

• Contribute to the development, testing, deployment, and refinement of NLP and generative AI models. 

• Work closely with mentors to understand real-world NLP challenges and deliver automated data solutions to address them. 

• Stay updated on the newest approaches in NLP and machine learning, and explore opportunities to incorporate them in our projects.
