Intern
Start in 2026 SummerIBM Research is focused on technology and its societal impact, seeking to innovate in computing. The role involves developing new mathematical methods and algorithms in various areas, along with implementation and validation of advanced algorithms and systems.
Business DevelopmentBusiness Information SystemsCRMData ManagementFoundational AISoftware
Responsibilities
Develop new mathematically grounded methods and algorithms in one or more of the following areas: numerical linear and multi-linear algebra, computational and meta-complexity theory, fully homomorphic encryption, optimization (especially discrete optimization and reinforcement learning based methods), algorithmic foundations of neural networks, quantum-centric high-performance computing, probability theory and stochastic processes, and AI for algorithmic reasoning
The job requires research into new mathematical and algorithmic formulations that integrate learning, optimization, and encryption within scalable computational frameworks; implementation including AI model training, development of numerical and algebraic solvers, encrypted and quantum-classical computation, and advanced algorithmic techniques for neural and optimization-based architectures; computer programming and software prototyping across classical, distributed, and quantum systems; validation on theoretical and practical benchmarks; and development and demonstration of working algorithms and systems that advance the frontiers of AI for mathematics, secure computation, and scientific discovery
