Research Scientist Intern, Photorealistic Telepresence (PhD)

Meta’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Meta are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started.

We are looking for exceptional research interns to advance photorealistic telepresence and to create the next generation of embodied agents via human understanding and synthesis using VLMs, LLMs, and video models. We have made numerous important advances, and it will take a diverse team with a wide spectrum of skills to accomplish this future. If you have expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, or Computer Graphics, we expect you will find the work here highly intriguing. We regularly publish our work at leading conferences and journals.

Come join us as we make photorealistic telepresence and embodied agents happen! Available projects may include, but are not limited to:

• VLMs and LLMs for human understanding
• Generative image and video models for photorealistic XR telepresence and embodied agents
• Motion and behavior synthesis for digital humans and embodied agents
• Speech-to-speech and audio-visual LLMs for natural multimodal interaction
• Face and body reconstruction, tracking, and encoding of social signals for XR

Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
