Meta is seeking Research Scientists to join its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) organization, focusing on making significant advances in artificial intelligence. The ideal candidates will possess a strong background in vision-language models and general AI, and will be tasked with investigating how to build contextually aware AI systems. This role is pivotal in establishing a new paradigm for human-computer interaction. The selected candidates will collaborate with a diverse and interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and cross-functional partners, gaining access to cutting-edge technology, resources, and research facilities. The responsibilities of the Research Scientist include developing algorithms based on state-of-the-art machine learning and neural network methodologies, defining and building new capabilities necessary for the next generation of AI, and working with large datasets. Additionally, the role involves conducting research to advance the science and technology of intelligent machines, setting long-term ambitious research goals while identifying intermediate milestones, and enabling learning the semantics of data across multiple modalities, including images, video, text, audio, and speech. Candidates must have a strong foundation in research, particularly in deep learning, computer vision, robotics, or AI infrastructure. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and experience with frameworks like PyTorch are essential. The ability to communicate research findings effectively to peers and the public is also a critical component of this role.
