Visiting Researcher, Neural 3D Modeling (PhD)

Job description

Meta is seeking a Visiting Researcher through a short-term contract to join the Reality AI Research team. Our mission is to build the spatial intelligence framework and foundation-model family for Meta: ingesting and making all imagery, captures, and map data spatially understandable, queryable, navigable, and transformable. We develop and refine metric expert models in their core capabilities, while our orchestration layer coordinates this intelligence around user intent and leverages it for all spatial reasoning requests. Our team is addressing technical challenges in foundation spatial AI models, neural 3D modeling, dynamic and semantic scene understanding, and related domains. We're looking for candidates who share a passion for exploring and solving complex problems at the intersection of CV/ML and spatial intelligence. We are looking for an exceptional candidate currently pursuing a PhD, with a proven track record in developing machine learning algorithms for solving computer vision and graphics problems (e.g., neural rendering, view synthesis, foundation models), as well as an skilled software engineer who can prototype invented algorithms. This position is short-term employment for candidates currently pursuing a PhD who will work in collaboration with Meta.
