Meta is hiring a Research Scientist Intern, PHD, PyTorch - Multimodal AI

Meta is seeking Research Interns to join our Multimodal team within PyTorch ​​to work on innovative problems that would power the next generation of Meta products and platforms at scale. Our team’s mission is to accelerate innovation and push the SoTA in Multimodal AI, democratize this research in open-source, and use this innovation to drive business impact for Meta.

Our work spans across multiple areas within Multimodal AI, Computer Vision and NLP including designing SoTA models, architectures and training paradigms to drive improvements in the quality of foundation models that can understanding multiple types of inputs (text, images, videos and audio), and optionally use this understanding to generate multiple types of outputs. Along with algorithmic innovation, we focus on incorporating and innovating on the recent trends in scaling to push model quality and compute efficiency.

In this role, you will collaborate with researchers and platform experts from PyTorch and AI Applied Research.

Our team at Meta AI offers twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long internships and we have various start dates throughout the year. To learn more about our research, visit https://ai.facebook.com.Research Scientist Intern, PHD, PyTorch - Multimodal AI Responsibilities

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.

Meta is committed to providing reasonable support (called accommodations) in our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long term conditions, mental health conditions or sincerely held religious beliefs, or who are neurodivergent or require pregnancy-related support.
