Research Scientist Intern, FAIR Embodiment

We are committed to advancing the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies to help interact with and understand our world. We are seeking individuals passionate in areas such as deep learning, audio and speech processing, natural language processing. World modeling and multimodal reasoning. Our interns have an opportunity to make core algorithmic advances and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale.Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Research Scientist Intern, FAIR Embodiment & Actions (PhD) Responsibilities:

• Develop novel and accurate multimodal algorithms and systems, leveraging Deep Learning and Machine Learning on big data resources.
• Analyze and improve efficiency, scalability, and stability of various deployed systems.
• Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners including communicating research plans, progress, and results.
• Contribute to research that can be applied to Meta product development and publish results with other researchers.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Multimodality (e.g. vision-language models), or relevant technical field
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
• Experience with Python, C++, C, Java or other related languages
• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as Pytorch or Tensorflow
• Experience building systems based on machine learning, deep learning methods, or natural language processing

Preferred Qualifications:

• Intent to return to a degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
• Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, or similar
• Experience with ML areas such as Natural Language Processing, Speech, Multimodal Reasoning & Retrieval
• Experience manipulating and analyzing complex, high-volume, high-dimensionality data from varying sources
• Experience with training deep neural networks for key NLP tasks
• Experience with interpreting deep neural networks mechanistically, correlating their observable behavior with properties of model parameters and activations
• Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub)
• Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment

About Meta:

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
