Student Researcher, PhD, Winter-Summer 2027

The Student Researcher Program fosters academic collaborations by hiring students onto research projects aligned to company priorities in scientific advancement. The program offers placements on teams across Google, for research, developing, and science roles. As a Student Researcher, you will have the opportunity to participate in research projects focused on developing solutions for real-world, large-scale problems. Student Researcher projects are exploratory and experiences that drive scientific advancement across a multitude of research areas. Students will work collaboratively on projects that explore innovative research challenges and support the creation of breakthrough technologies. Projects vary in duration and location based on team and student requirements. It is required that you are located in one of the specific country locations identified for this role for the full duration of the engagement. When you apply, you will be considered for Student Researcher positions across all of Google's research teams including DeepMind, Google Research, Google Cloud and more. This allows us to find the right project match for your skills and interests. Academic Level: This application is intended for candidates who will be enrolled in a PhD degree program at the time of the engagement and have a demonstrated research focus. Program Distinction: Unlike the Research Internship, which is a structured seasonal placement, the Student Researcher role offers greater flexibility in weekly time commitment, project duration, and onsite/remote options. Specific work arrangements and engagement timelines are confirmed during the offer stage. Researchers across Google are working to advance the computing and build the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we invest in foundational research and work on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software developers and research scientists.
