Would you be interested in working at Microsoft Research for three months? If so, you might want to think about applying for an internship. Simon and I are looking for interns, starting in summer 2008. Lots of background info here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Internships including a bunch of possible projects, although you may also have ideas of your own. But the bottom line is - apply by end Feb 2008 for this round - tell one of us that you have done so (None of this is restricted to Haskell stuff. You can apply to work at any Microsoft Research lab, on any topic. But there are a lot of applicants, so you are more likely to be successful if you are fairly specific about who at MSR you'd like to work with and why, and contact that person to say that you've applied.)

I would love to! But here are some questions: 1. Do I _necessarily_ have to come to MSR Cambridge to do my research? Is it possible that I stay in India and do the work? Our institute wants interns (that counts as a course) to be done ONLY in India. 2. What background experience do you expect your intern to have? Does an undergraduate have enough experience? (undergrad who has done a course on "Language Translators", say). -- Vimal
A further plug: I did an internship with Simon PJ last summer (implementing view patterns in GHC, among other things), and this is a great opportunity if you're interested in PL research. There is a lot of interesting work going on at MSR Cambridge, the atmosphere is very friendly, and Cambridge is a lovely place to spend a summer. If anyone wants an "intern's-eye" view of the experience, feel free to e-mail me! -Dan On Jan25, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

I second most parts of this (including the "feel free to email me part"). I hear that the summer is busiest with respect to interns, but those who can arrange it with their graduate programs ought to consider applying for an internship during the school year. I don't know what things are like now, but I found that there were plenty of other interns around to keep me company even during the fall, and Cambridge is a lovely place to spend an autumn as well.

Hello Simon, I wonder if there is any interest by the part of Microsoft and the Haskell community in a software model checker using SAT-based techniques for Haskell. There's have been in the last few year a couple of approaches on this for C by several people, including some Microsoft people. Cheers, Paulo Matos
