Research Scientist Intern, AI Systems Machine Learning (PhD) - Meta

Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.Meta is seeking Research Interns to join Fundamental AI Research (FAIR). We are committed to advancing the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies to help interact with and understand our world. We are seeking individuals passionate in solving systems challenges in areas such as deep learning, computer vision, audio and speech processing, natural language processing, machine learning. Our interns have an opportunity to make core algorithmic advances and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale.The mission of Meta FAIR's SysML research is to advance the state of AI through open science innovations. We explore, design, and build AI systems and infrastructures at scale to enable cutting-edge AI technologies.Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
