Research Scientist Intern, AI Core Machine Learning (PhD) in London

Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade, our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.

Meta is seeking Research Interns to join Monetization Ranking & AI Foundations where we strive to serve the best personalized ads to people, maximizing their personal utility and advertiser value. We are committed to making fundamental advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies that can be applied to all aspects of Monetization, including but not limited to, ranking, retrieval, supply, model architecture, representation learning, optimization, and generally a deep understanding of the users, ads, and any signals and contents related to their interactions.

Our interns closely collaborate with researchers and engineers within the organization and across the company (e.g., FAIR, MSL), push the boundaries of state-of-the-art research in AI and ML, and integrate innovations in production system 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.

Conduct state-of-the-art research to advance the science and technology of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Develop novel algorithms and corresponding systems, leveraging various AI and ML techniques.
