Palo Alto, CA
Internship
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Criteo Research is offering Intern Scientist positions at all of our Research centers-

    Palo Alto (USA), Paris (France) & Grenoble (France) for 2017. Interested candidates

    can email us with their location & duration preference. An internship will run for a

    minimum of three months

    What is the minimum qualification?

    Criteo Research is looking for candidates currently enrolled in a PhD program with

    preference given to candidates who are in the 3rd year of the program or greater.

    We will also consider final year MS students, in France, who are interested in

    following-up with a CIFRE engagement.

    What will the Intern Scientists work on?

    Criteo Research works on a slew of challenging research

    problems in real-time bidding, large-scale recommendation,

    learning representations/embeddings, scalable machine

    learning, auction theory, reinforcement learning etc. All of our

    research problems are inspired by real/practical problems that

    we encounter in our production systems. Thus, our work is not

    only academically motivating but practically useful as well.

    Our goal during the internship is to help intern candidates appreciate the

    complexities of working in a production system while solving a research problem

    that is close to their existing research work. A successful internship for us is one

    where the intern works with their mentor on a well-defined goal that either has

    product impact and/or results in a publication in an accredited conference. Towards

    this end, we customize our internship project to each intern rather than forcing

    interns to work on pre-specified topics.

    How to apply?

    Apply at the official job-posting or send us an email with your resume to

    rscRecruitment@criteo.com. Please specify your preferred location and duration.

    What is the interview process?

    Interviews for internship positions typically involve two phone-interviews with a

    focus on understanding your research, breath/depth in Machine Learning or a

    related field.
