Job description

The Research internship focuses on the intersection of quantum computing, AI, and conventional numerics to enhance performance in solving partial differential equations (PDEs). The team aims to develop innovative workflows and algorithms that bridge different computational paradigms. Interns will engage in research that includes implementing quantum solvers and training AI models. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in a collaborative environment.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required.
  • A working understanding of partial differential equations from a theoretical or application-oriented perspective is necessary.
  • Proven experience prototyping in Python, specifically using numpy, is essential.
  • Research experience in applied mathematics, AI models for PDEs, or quantum computing is preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the team's research agenda across algorithm and model development.
  • Implement quantum solvers and train AI models as part of the research projects.
  • Run validation across computational paradigms and develop cross-platform workflows.
  • Participate in journal clubs and prepare reports while collaborating with other interns and researchers.

Benefits

  • IBM offers competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, retirement programs, paid parental leave, tuition assistance, wellness programs, flexible work options, and extensive learning and certification resources.
