[Ciarán Gilligan-Lee @quantumciaran]

@JohanDH2O @Maggiemakar @SpotifyResearch I don’t think we do for internships unfortunately. Apologies!

[Ciarán Gilligan-Lee @quantumciaran]

@manhbaonguyen @SpotifyResearch Unfortunately the internship is for students currently enrolled in a PhD program. Apologies!

[Ciarán Gilligan-Lee @quantumciaran]

@EhsaanA99918076 @SpotifyResearch I’ll have to double check with HR, but I think the role is specifically based out of the London office. Which means you’ll have to be in the office for at least a day or two per week.

@AleksanderMolak @AliciaCurth Yes, precisely in that technical sense!

[Ciarán Gilligan-Lee @quantumciaran]

@AliciaCurth That would be very cool to find out. Would be interesting to see if a toy example exists where it works.
