Research Scientist • Intern

Who you are

You are a PhD candidate with a strong background in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, or Computer Graphics — your academic journey has equipped you with the skills to tackle complex problems and contribute to innovative research. You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to work with a diverse team to push the boundaries of technology. Your passion for AR and VR drives you to explore new possibilities in creating immersive experiences that connect people.

You have experience with generative AI models for image and video synthesis — you understand the intricacies of motion and behavior synthesis for digital humans and are excited about the potential of VR/AR encoding of social signals. Your knowledge of face and body reconstruction and tracking will be invaluable as you contribute to projects aimed at achieving true photorealistic telepresence.

What you'll do

As a Research Scientist Intern at Meta, you will work on groundbreaking projects that aim to revolutionize AR and VR technologies. You will collaborate with a team of experts to develop generative AI models that enhance image and video synthesis, contributing to the creation of lifelike digital humans. Your work will involve synthesizing motion and behavior to create realistic interactions in virtual environments.

You will engage in research that focuses on encoding social signals in VR/AR, exploring how digital avatars can convey emotions and intentions effectively. Your contributions will help advance the field of photorealistic telepresence, enabling users to connect in more meaningful ways across distances.

Throughout your internship, you will have the opportunity to publish your findings in leading conferences and journals, sharing your insights with the broader research community. This role will allow you to deepen your expertise while making a tangible impact on the future of social interactions in virtual spaces.
