Graphcore graduate roles: what they involve

The open AI Technology PhD Research Internship is a practical research opportunity based from the Bristol, Cambridge or London office.

The work can connect algorithms, hardware and systems across areas such as language models, efficient inference, numerics, world models and model safety.

This role suits a PhD researcher interested in a research career and in applying academic learning to real world hardware and software challenges. It asks for curiosity, fresh ideas and the confidence to tackle difficult problems while working collaboratively. The other listed roles include software engineering, machine learning, research, infrastructure, build engineering, Linux and Kubernetes positions, but their descriptions are not provided here.

How to apply to Graphcore's graduate roles

The internship description does not set out an application process. As a typical UK process, start by reading the current advert carefully, checking that your research background and experience match the requirements, then submit the requested CV and application details through the employer's careers site. Keep examples ready that show your technical work, research methods, experiments and ability to explain findings clearly.

A typical process may include an application review, an initial conversation, technical or research questions, and one or more interviews or assessments. These stages are general guidance, not steps confirmed for this role. Check Graphcore's careers site for the current process, the documents it requests and the latest instructions before applying.

Graphcore sponsor licence and international applicants

Graphcore appears on the sponsor register with a Worker licence rated A. The listed routes are Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker, with the register entry in Bristol. This shows that the employer holds a sponsor licence under those routes, but it does not confirm that every vacancy is suitable for sponsorship.

If you need permission to work in the UK, read the individual advert and ask Graphcore whether that particular role can support your circumstances. Check the route requirements and current Home Office guidance on GOV.UK, including any rules that apply to your proposed work. Do not assume that the open internship or another role is sponsored merely because the employer is on the register.
