We are accepting applications for our 2016 program.
The Google Brain Residency Program is a 12-month role designed to jumpstart your career in deep learning. Residents will work with world-famous scientists from the Google Brain Team. The goal of the residency program is to help the residents become productive and successful deep learning researchers.
The residency program is similar to a top Master’s or PhD program in deep learning. The residents are expected to read papers, work on research projects, and publish their work in top-tier venues. By the end of the program, residents are expected to gain significant research experience in deep learning.
The environment in the Google Brain Team is uniquely conducive to outstanding deep learning research: the Brain Team has world-class, large-scale infrastructure for training deep neural networks, large datasets in a wide variety of domains, and a high concentration of extremely strong deep learning scientists. It is an environment where pure research and important applications reinforce and support each other in a virtuous cycle. To get a taste for their work, please see the Brain publications list.
The ideal candidate is a graduate from an undergraduate or a graduate program, preferably in computer science, mathematics, or statistics. The application would present evidence of proficiency in programming and in the prerequisite courses. The evidence could take the form of a transcript, letters of recommendation, notable performance in competitions, or links to an open-source project that demonstrate programming and mathematical ability.
In addition to the items listed above, candidates would possess a strong interest in the field, committed to detail and have a passion for deep learning. Examples include a link to a publication, a blog post, or an implementation of a (even slightly) novel learning algorithm, with an explanation of what is interesting about the algorithm and its performance.
The Google Brain Residency Program is based in Mountain View, California, and residents are expected to work on-site.
