Research Scientist Intern, Robotics Foundation Models Mid-Training (PhD)

Job description

Meta Reality Labs Research is a team of researchers and engineers pushing the frontier of AI and robotics. Our team is building the next generation of world action models (WAMs) and vision-language-action models (VLAs) for robotic manipulation. We are seeking a Research Scientist Intern to develop scalable methods for mid-training world action models on large-scale egocentric video and robot data. Interns in this role will conduct fundamental and applied research to advance foundation models for robotics, with a focus on mid-training. You will collaborate with research scientists and engineers to develop new algorithms, build and evaluate model capabilities, and contribute to the next generation of embodied AI. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
