Job description

Meta Reality Labs (Redmond, WA) is looking for exceptional interns to solve complex challenges in behavioral inference from sparse information. Our world-class team of researchers in Reality Labs Research leverage multimodal, egocentric data (such as from Project Aria) and cutting edge machine learning to deliver robust, efficient models that serve everyone. Our research provides core building blocks to unlock comfortable, intuitive, and helpful Wearable AI, empowering everyone to harness the superpowers of this emerging technology in their daily lives.

We welcome PhD students in computer science, machine learning, robotics, computational neuroscience, or related fields. In particular, we are looking for candidates with experience in multimodal inference of complex systems, often with limited or ambiguous ground truth. We welcome students with a passion for working in a strongly collaborative team that spans research across human behavior, robust algorithms, and systems prototyping and optimization.

Our team at Meta Reality Labs offers twelve (12) to twenty four (24) week long internships and we have various start dates throughout the year. Some projects may require a minimum of sixteen (16) consecutive weeks.
