For an application to be considered, the proposed research must be closely related to the research carried out at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.
Important Information:	Stage 1: A panel of Microsoft researchers determines whether an application meets the basic selection criteria and goes through to stage 2. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified in October 2014, but will not receive detailed feedback. Stage 2: Applications are sent for comprehensive review to at least three Microsoft internal or external reviewers. Ranking depends on review feedback. Other factors, such as relevance to Microsoft research topics, are taken into account for the selection of approximately 20 applications. Detailed feedback will be given to all stage 2 proposals. *Decisions are made solely at the discretion of Microsoft Research and all decisions are final. *Applicants (PhD supervisors) have up to one year (from the date of notification) to propose the best and most suitable student possible to carry out the proposed research project. The student should not have started working toward his or her PhD before September 2014. *After a student is identified, we request a CV and two strong letters of recommendation (in English and preferably not from the supervisor) from professors who are familiar with the student’s work.
