AI for Code - MSc and PHD-Summer internship 2026- Research Lab

Introduction

At IBM work is more than a job - it’s a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you’ve never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world’s most challenging problems? If so, let’s talk.

Your Role And Responsibilities

The AI4Code group at IBM Research is seeking a passionate research intern to join us in shaping the future of software development. Our mission is to explore how AI and agentic technologies can transform the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for enterprise systems. As part of our team, you will work on cutting-edge research in agentic AI for code, develop and evaluate innovative solutions in Python, and collaborate with world-class researchers on impactful projects. This internship offers the opportunity to publish in top-tier conferences and journals and even file patents where applicable.

We are looking for someone with strong coding skills, preferably in Python, and a genuine interest in AI-driven solutions and agent-based systems. Creativity, curiosity, and a drive to innovate are essential.

The program runs for three months during the summer at our Haifa site, full-time, five days a week. You will be working alongside talented researchers on projects that aim to create the next generation of AI4Code. If you are ready to make an impact and push the boundaries of AI for software engineering, we would love to hear from you.
