Researcher in Agentic AI Systems & Infrastructure

At MSR Cambridge we are shaping the future of AI infrastructure by tackling ambitious, long-horizon systems challenges that will define the next generation of AI platforms. Our team explores the full stack from models and systems to software and hardware, while working closely with product teams across Microsoft to translate research breakthroughs into impact at scale. The Future AI infrastructure (FAI) team is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to pursue foundational research on agentic AI systems. The research emphasis will be on multiagent system designs for scalable agentic workloads with ML and systems techniques for efficient memory, communication, and orchestration of heterogeneous agents. This role is a 2 year fixed term contract and will suit candidates excited by open-ended research questions at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and next-generation AI platforms. FAI team’s proven record of breakthroughs (see AOC and MOSAIC), provides a strong pathway for your research to inform and shape future AI system designs in partnership with the broader MSR teams and Microsoft product teams.
