Research Scientist Intern, Generative AI & 3D Generation (PhD)

Our teams develop technologies that enable people to capture, create, understand, and interact with immersive visual experiences across Meta’s products and AR/VR platforms. We work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision, computer graphics, and computational photography.

Our research spans generative methods across 3D assets, characters, and worlds, together with rigging and animation. We are also working on image and video diffusion, neural rendering and dynamic 3DGS as well as agentic workflows (e.g., 3D code generation, robotic simulation).

As a Research Scientist Intern, you will help advance the state of the art through an ambitious research project.

You will collaborate with researchers and engineers to develop new models, representations, datasets, and evaluation methods-with opportunities to publish your work and influence future products used by people around the world.

Responsibilities

Research, develop and prototype advanced technologies in the domain of 3D Generation, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, using ML methods including diffusion models, LLMs, and Agentic RL. Deliver research results that are both publishable and have a direct impact on Reality Labs or Meta’s Family of Apps Analyze the efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and stability of currently deployed technologies to identify opportunities for impact through novel research. Collaborate with team members throughout the lifetime of a project, from research to prototyping to deploying products.

Qualifications

Currently is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or related fields Experience in one or more areas of Computer Science, such as Generative AI, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, LLMs, and Reinforcement Learning Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as co-authored publications at top-tier conferences Experience with agentic coding Intent to return to their degree program after the completion of the internship Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration Strong communication skills and ability to convey research ideas to a broad audience Mathematical background and understanding of probabilistic models, machine learning, linear algebra, 3D geometry and vision Relevant research or software engineering work experiences, including internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories
