About this program

Apple's AIML Residency is a one-year program that places graduates with advanced degrees on Apple teams to develop interdisciplinary machine learning and AI solutions that can shape future products and features. Residents receive mentorship, collaborate with peers and R&D teams, publish at top venues, and participate in Apple-led technical and leadership training while pursuing independent study. Eligible applicants include Master's degree holders, recent PhD graduates and postdocs, software and hardware engineers seeking research collaboration, academics on sabbatical, and aspiring professors; candidates should hold advanced degrees or equivalent experience and be available for a full-time, one-year residency.
