Research Scientist Intern, Generative AI (PhD)

The Reality AI Research team explores, develops, and ships novel and cutting-edge technologies for 3D/4D scene reconstruction, understanding and generation, serving as the foundation for future wearables and AI products. Our team is tackling a variety of technical challenges across the entire tech stack, including but not limited to model architecture development, data curation, and large-scale model training. We're looking for candidates who share a passion for exploring and solving complex, challenging problems.

We are looking for an exceptional PhD student with a proven track record in developing generative approaches for solving computer vision and graphics problems (e.g., conditional, generative models for videos or (dynamic) 3D content), as well as an outstanding software engineer who can efficiently prototype new ideas as well as integrate them into our large-scale data and training infrastructure.

Actively driving and participating in cutting edge research for 3D/4D scene reconstruction, understanding & generation.

Developing efficient deep neural network model architectures.

Contributing research that can be applied to Meta wearables and AI development.

Together with our team, work towards a top-tier, scientific publication.
