Introduction IBM Research Scientists are charting the future of Artificial Intelligence, creating breakthroughs in quantum computing, discovering how blockchain will reshape the enterprise, and much more. Join a team that is dedicated to applying science to some of today's most complex challenges, whether it’s discovering a new way for doctors to help patients, teaming with environmentalists to clean up our waterways or enabling retailers to personalize customer service. Your Role and Responsibilities IBM Research Europe (UK) is seeking outstanding doctoral students in computational science to join our 2025 summer internship program. You will join the project “Modelling rare, extreme behaviour in large-scale computational models”, funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. The project leverages a broad collaboration network within IBM Research, the UKRI-FLF ecosystem, and beyond. During the internship you will work in a small group to develop, explore, and characterize the properties of a given computational model. Job responsibilities may include developing and scaling up an existing application, exploring model configurations, reading relevant literature, and communicating findings through patent applications and publications in top-tier conferences. You should enclose a CV and include a one-page cover letter in your application. Internships are for three months and are based at our Daresbury (Warrington) facilities. Required Technical and Professional Expertise Candidates must be enrolled in a PhD program in the physical, mathematical, or natural sciences. Fluency in developing and running HPC-scale models in the candidate’s own discipline. Demonstrated experience in solving analytical problems using rigorous and quantitative approaches. Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise All application domains are of interest, but a background in environmental or theoretical physics will be preferred. Experience with model-reduction and model-emulation approaches, including Physics-Informed Machine Learning. Familiarity with non-linear optimization techniques. Being able to clearly and effectively communicate research ideas as demonstrated by publications and presentations in the top-tier journals and conferences. About Business Unit IBM Research is the organic growth engine of IBM and an innovation engine for our customers and partners. As part of this mission, IBM Research anticipates and examines 'What's Next in Computing' to ultimately create and integrate the technologies the world relies upon to solve big challenges and unlock new opportunities. We create and pioneer new markets for IBM, our partners and customers as exemplified in our ongoing quest to reach practical and large-scale quantum computing. Across IBM Research, we realize the power and potential to accelerate discovery with our partners and clients by combining the power of high performance computing, AI, and Quantum, all integrated through the hybrid cloud. Your Life IBM In a world where technology never stands still, we understand that, dedication to our clients success, innovation that matters, and trust and personal responsibility in all our relationships, lives in what we do as IBMers as we strive to be the catalyst that makes the world work better. Being an IBMer means you’ll be able to learn and develop yourself and your career, you’ll be encouraged to be courageous and experiment everyday, all whilst having continuous trust and support in an environment where everyone can thrive whatever their personal or professional background. Our IBMers are growth minded, always staying curious, open to feedback and learning new information and skills to constantly transform themselves and our company. They are trusted to provide on-going feedback to help other IBMers grow, as well as collaborate with colleagues keeping in mind a team focused approach to include different perspectives to drive exceptional outcomes for our customers. The courage our IBMers have to make critical decisions everyday is essential to IBM becoming the catalyst for progress, always embracing challenges with resources they have to hand, a can-do attitude and always striving for an outcome focused approach within everything that they do. Are you ready to be an IBMer? About IBM IBM's greatest invention is the IBMer. We believe that through the application of intelligence, reason and science, we can improve business, society and the human condition, bringing the power of an open hybrid cloud and AI strategy to life for our clients and partners around the world. Restlessly reinventing since 1911, we are not only one of the largest corporate organizations in the world, we’re also one of the biggest technology and consulting employers, with many of the Fortune 50 companies relying on the IBM Cloud to run their business. At IBM, we pride ourselves on being an early adopter of artificial intelligence, quantum computing and blockchain. Now it’s time for you to join us on our journey to being a responsible technology innovator and a force for good in the world.
