Research Scientist, 3D Generative AI (PhD)

Research Scientist, 3D Generative AI (PhD)

Meta Reality Labs brings together R&D team of researchers, developers, and engineers with the shared goal of developing AR and VR across the spectrum. The Core-AI group in Reality Labs is seeking research scientists to solve the next generation of research challenges on the path to building the 3D Metaverse. The aim of this role is to develop and advance state of the art research in 3D Generative AI technologies such as generating objects, materials, animation and worlds.

Responsibilities

1. Research and develop novel computer vision models in Generative AI, with a focus on 3D objects, textures and scene generation.
2. Publish research results in top-tier journals and at leading international conferences.
3. Collaborate with team members throughout the lifetime of a project, from early research through prototyping.
4. Work with product partners to deploy research into Meta's products.

Minimum Qualifications

1. PhD in the field of computer vision, robotics, ML or equivalent.
2. Background in generative AI, 3D computer vision, video and image generation.
3. Experience designing machine learning algorithms, including experience creating software for data loading, training, and inference of novel ML architectures.
4. Experience working in cross functional collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications

1. Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as CVPR, ECCV/ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, SIGGRAPH.
2. Demonstrated software engineering experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub).
3. Mathematical background and understanding of numerical optimization, linear algebra, probabilistic estimation and 3D geometry.

About Meta

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
