Research Scholar

Cohere For AI is the dedicated research arm of Cohere. The Cohere For AI research lab seeks to solve complex machine learning problems by supporting fundamental research that explores the unknown. We are focused on creating more points of entry into machine learning research because we believe technology is powerful, and empowering different perspectives ensures responsible innovation. The Cohere For AI Scholars Program is an 6-month, full-time research apprenticeship. The Scholars Program runs from January 6 - July 11, 2025. This program pairs aspiring machine learning researchers with an outstanding engineering team to collaborate on innovative machine learning research projects. The majority of our scholar projects this year focus on NLP problems at scale, ranging from questions about efficiency, generalization, responsible AI and data quality. Scholars will have the support of an experienced research team and access to cutting-edge AI technology as they contribute to projects at the forefront of machine learning research. We encourage applications from a wide range of backgrounds, regardless of previous academic experience. We will accept scholars who have previously published as we want to provide opportunities for aspiring researchers who face great obstacles in entering the field of machine learning.

Cohere is a team of researchers, engineers, designers, and more, who are passionate about their craft. Each person is one of the best in the world at what they do. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives is a requirement for building great products.
